Exhibitions currently running:

Handel Reveal'd - Handel Reveal'd will investigate many aspects of Handel's life, drawing on objects from the Museum's own collection and significant loans from national museums and private collections. The exhibition will run from 8 April - 25 October 2009 and will be one of many events, performances and broadcasts arranged to mark the anniversary. Among the exhibition will be a rarely seen life mask of Handel by Roubiliac, which will be loaned from a private collection. A key object will be the score for the final major piece of music written by Handel, Jephtha. Written in Handel's own hand, at a time when his eyesight was becoming weak, the manuscript includes the note in German, dated 13th February 1751: 'Unable to go on owing to a weakening of the sight of my left eye'. Ten days later, Handel was able to work again and completed the score by the end of August 1751. He died eight years later and the exhibition will conclude with the moving reports of the great composer's final days and his death at 25 Brook Street.
