The show traces the 200-year history of the Salon through a gathering of prints, pamphlets, press images and published criticism.
The exhibition charts the evolution of the Salon, from the early presentations rooted in the civic pageantry of royal patronage, through the Enlightenment Salons of the Royal Academy and the highly contested nineteenth-century exhibitions, all the way to the culminating presentations of the Universal Exposition of 1900.
