AA Archives Revealed: Highlights from the Collections
Running the gamut from 19th-century student esquisses to international competition entries from the 1980s, this exhibition showcases some of the highlights from the AA’s newly established archives. Outstanding student work, from graduation projects to pantomime scenery, is presented alongside major historical gifts received by the AA. These include designs for the 1951 Festival of Britain and a recently conserved 1.5metre-long elevation of the Houses of Parliament by Sir Charles Barry.
