This exhibition is the first major exhibition to place its focus on the women who married the infamous Tudor king. Exploring agency, influence and cultural impact both in life and afterlife, the exhibition steps back in time, thus showcasing contemporary portraits, costumes and sixteenth century portraits.

Inspired by Nature, the Jinny Bloom x Mylands Collection

The Mylands x Jinny Blom collection features 12 tones, inspired by Jinny’s own experience of the outdoors, her special bond with nature and her unique talent to landscape gardens with a natural feel. Her London based landscape design practice launched in 2000 and she has since curated gardens and large estates all over the world, having designed several Chelsea Flower Show Gardens, winning Gold in 2007. This collection of colours are typically drawn from the land and the local materiality. In a city there is a lot of freedom yet in the wider countryside, wherever on earth it might be, it is definitely driven by the tonality of he landscape and the weather.

"Mylands has an exceptional understanding of colours as a mood-altering background, so in that we share a common language. The paint quality is second to none.” - Jinny Blom
