In Bloom explores the beauty and symbolism of flowers. Featuring more than 50 portraits from the collection, new acquisitions and selected loans, you will discover how flowers have long been used in art to express emotion and convey messages of personal, cultural and religious significance.
The show is a weird and wonderful floral extravaganza that includes much-loved and lesser-known works from the National Portrait Gallery collection. See socialites, chefs, musicians, actors, doctors and politicians who are all unified by their accompanying floral markers.
