Twilight Tour | Inspired By Women

Enjoy a glass of wine on arrival before embarking on an intimate twilight tour of Inspired By Women.

This exhibition celebrates the many facets of women’s lives in the 1700s and 1800s, and the often invisible histories of women and women's work.

Explore over fifty rarely-exhibited textiles from the historical collections of the Embroiderers Guild, Victoria displayed alongside treasures of British and European fine and decorative arts from The Johnston Collection.

Discover the work of women artists, makers, and artisans — silversmiths, embroiderers, painters, and decorators of porcelain — and uncover the intellectual and political influence of Georgian and Regency women, including collector and botanist the Duchess of Portland; society hostesses Lady Melbourne and Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire; and creative maker, Mary Delany.

Your ticket includes:
- an introduction to The Johnston Collection by one of our knowledgeable Volunteer Guides
- an intimate tour experience with no more than 8 visitors per guide (groups of up to 22 are welcome)
- a glass of Chalmers wine on arrival
- time to explore a wide range of exclusive gifts, books, and homewares at TJC Emporium

This exhibition is supported by The Friends of The Johnston Collection.
