This retrospective exhibition invites visitors to take an enchanted journey through the extraordinary world of modernist jewellery-artist Walter Schluep (1931-2016). Born in Spain, Schluep was raised in Switzerland. At 22, he moved to Montreal where he will create until his retirement. This is the first museum exhibition dedicated to Schluep's work in Canada.

Yann Pocreau will here unveil new pieces based on his discoveries. Light and Pocreau's manner of "staging" have been central to his approach for a number of years. In Impermanencies, he reflects on the cosmos and its sources of light and the way scientists study, analyze and interpret the universe and its phenomena.

Jean-Henri Riesener (1734-1806) was the most important cabinetmaker in France during Louis XVI’s reign. From humble beginnings as a German emigrant, he found work in Paris and went on to become the most successful cabinetmaker of his generation. His work was renowned for its floral and figurative marquetry and spectacular gilt-bronze mounts and he was appointed cabinetmaker to Louis XVI in 1774. He was Marie-Antoinette’s favourite cabinetmaker, providing furniture for her private apartments in several royal palaces. In the nineteenth century, his name became synonymous with craftsmanship and luxury, and all that was admired in French furniture.

The Riesener Season at the Wallace Collection will encompass a display of Riesener’s furniture with an accompanying digital trail, a fascinating new book about the cabinetmaker, a dedicated microsite exploring the life and work of the artist, and a series of free online public events. This season is the culmination of a five-year research project led by the Wallace Collection in partnership with Royal Collection Trust and Waddesdon Manor, two other highly important collections of Riesener furniture that were put together by George IV and Ferdinand and Alice de Rothschild respectively.

Plunged into climate change created by humans in the Anthropocene era, many suffer from eco-anxiety and no longer see the value of perpetuating the human species. The exhibition title is plural because the term is used here in multiple contexts: eco-activism, eco-feminism, ecology of living beings and ecology of places.

From 8th July 2019 members of the public are invited to watch the restoration of The Night Watch, Rembrandt’s most celebrated masterpiece. The public will be able to watch the entire process at the museum and online. The restoration is expected to take several years; the completion date given here is likely to be amended.
