A young woman in her bed chamber trying a wig on her bottom for effect: her maid-servant holds a mirror for her and sniggers with amusement; a cat arches its back in fright and a dog dives for cover under the young woman's corset which is lying on the floor. Etching, 1778.

Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!
