Summer at Somerset House

It’s been just over a month since The Morgan Stanley Exhibition: The Missing Thread opened its doors and we’re looking back at the incredible launch night Curated by the Black Orientated Legacy Development Agency (BOLD), The Missing Thread is a celebration of Black creativity, examining how the cultural, counter-cultural, political, and socio-economic backdrop of the 20th and 21st centuries have shaped the identity of Black style and in turn mainstream fashion culture. 📅 Until 7 January 2024 🔗

A blaze broke out at London's historic Somerset House on Saturday. The building was once home to the Royal Navy. It is now the host of creative events and exhibitions. A gallery inside the complex houses Vincent Van Gogh's self-portrait of himself with a bandaged ear. https://abc7chicago.com/post/somerset-house-fire-blaze-erupts-historic-london-building-home-gallery-artwork-van-gogh-monet-manet-cezanne/15196598/ | ABC 7 Chicago
