The Dragon in the punch bowl…

Some years ago, London’s Foundling Museum lent me William Hogarth’s punch bowl for my book and exhibition, Hogarth’s China. Eleven years later I became the museum’s Director.  Today, as the museum’s Hogarth Curator and ambassador, I tell the story of Thomas Coram and the 27,000 children cared for by his hospital.  If you’ve not yet visited (40 Brunswick Square, London 020 7841 3600) you really must: it will change the way you see things. And that (among other things) is what I do: in my events, talks, tours and broadcasts, I examine the world through objects, images and things.
