Join us during Chelsea Wellness Weekend for a guided tour of our Army at Home gallery, focusing on mindfulness and reflection.

About the event

Since the Army’s inception in the 1600s, it has helped to shape the nation physically, culturally and socially. This has inspired artists across the centuries to depict the Army in different ways, be it through intimate portraits, grand landscape pieces or more subdued realistic representations.

In this guided-looking session, join a member of the Museum’s Community Team as they focus on key paintings on display in our Army at Home gallery.

The tour will invite attendees to experience the artworks mindfully, lingering with each piece and reflecting on any emotions that arise.
