Our partnership exhibition with Braintree Museum has got off to a tremendous start and last week welcomed over 200 half-term visitors to take part in activities related to the Courtauld family.<\/p>\n

The exhibition Courtaulds: Origin, Innovation, Family<\/em> looks at the history of the Courtauld family and their textile company from the founding of the first mill in 1816. Visitors can explore artefacts that illuminate the Courtauld family\u2019s history \u2013 including a suffragette poster designed by Catherine Courtauld, from the Women\u2019s Library, London; the remains from Augustin Courtauld\u2019s Arctic flag from the Scott Polar Institute, alongside loans from the Courtauld Family\u2019s Private Collection.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the exhibition is a display of four prints by Paul Gauguin on loan from the Courtauld Gallery. The rare woodblock prints, from the Noa Noa series, were purchased by Samuel Courtauld in 1924, and depict imaginary scenes influenced by Gauguin\u2019s time in Tahiti. By the end of the 1920s Courtauld held the most important collection of works by Gauguin in Britain, including 10 prints, five paintings and one sculpture.<\/p>\n

There is also an opportunity to hear the memories of former employees of the Courtauld factories recorded by a fantastic group of local volunteers, alongside examples of the fabrics and clothes they produced, and archive material relating to the company.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is open until 30th May 2020 and special events, such as curator\u2019s tours, talks and hands-on crafts, will run regularly. Find out more on Braintree Museum\u2019s website: https:\/\/www.braintreemuseum.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
