Brading Roman Villa presents a collection of iconic photographic portraits featuring pioneering photographers of the 19th century, including William Fox Talbot and Julia Margaret Cameron, alongside stunning images of some of the 20th century’s most recognisable faces, from Mick Jagger to Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy.

The exhibition will also provide a rare opportunity to view material from the collection of Dimbola Museum and Galleries not usually on public display, with displays of original photographs and albums, a wide range of fascinating historic photographic technologies, including a Victorian magic lantern and stereoscope, and a diverse variety of cameras and related equipment from throughout the twentieth century.

Exhibition open daily between 21 Jan - 8th March 10am-4pm. Usual charges apply.
