DOES MY HEAD LOOK BIG IN THIS? THE ART OF PORTRAIT CARICATURE

23 May - 1 November 2026

Provocative, insightful, and rude, the caricaturist does the looking for us and hilariously reflects the society we live in, who we choose to vote for, and the personalities we celebrate. 

Visitors are invited to celebrate the art of portrait caricature from its origins in Renaissance Italy to its outrageous Golden Age in 18th century England and into its popularity in the present day.

This exhibition is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and made possible by National Lottery players.
