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.
