Members' Preview Day: Gilbert Galleries photo
Join us for an exclusive preview of the newly transformed Gilbert Galleries, offering an encounter with one of the most extraordinary private collections ever assembled, celebrating the vision and philanthropy of Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert. 

 At the heart of the display is one of the world’s largest collections of glass micromosaics, shown together for the first time. Masterpieces of silver, enamel and hardstone demonstrate the breadth of the collection, while new provenance research reveals the complex histories of these objects, including the impact of Nazi and Soviet looting. 

Tickets are available to help us manage capacity but we also welcome walk ups on the day. To secure your preferred time, please book one ticket per adult aged 16 or older attending the Preview Day, including yourself. You may book one ticket for an adult guest if you hold a valid Plus Guest Membership. 

All Members may also bring up to four children under 16 without booking tickets for them.

Valid Membership cards must be presented with tickets to gain entry to the galleries. The named cardholder must be present for the tickets to be used.
