Joan, I couldn't find anything on Google about such an extension .
I wouldn't be surprised that the museum website hasn't been updated, but I guess that there should be at least a few newspapers updates about this ...

I was really hoping it would be, but it doesn't look that way. I'm very disappointed too, it seems to have been really good.

It won't be the same but at least you'll see them.

Really? I LOVE the Wallace Collection! I only discovered it on my last trip and visited twice! I will be back again this year.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I may finally get to see the Wallace Collection this year. Demarais, what sort of stuff was lent for the Marie Antoinette exhibition? I did a search on the website but nothing specifically MA-related came up. Merci!

There was furniture, jewelry, various letters and some clothing as I recall. I'm glad you mentioned the Wallace Collection. I'm doing my London List and hadn't checked their site for curent exhibits. I think my list is over-loaded already so might as well add a few more things!!

I'm doing my London list too! Fun, isn't it? Everything depends on the ROH though, can't even book flights till I'm sure we have the ballet tickets. Just one more week and ticket sales open.
Are you Afternoon Teaing somewhere?
And should I shift this to OT posts?

The Wallace Collection was the highlight of my London trip.
go to www.wallacecollection.org/thecollection/collections/furniture the bottom paragraph mentions some of Marie's items.
I also found this site museumnetworkuk.org/the-museums.php (the Wallace is the only one in London).

No, Thank You for bumping this up.

I had been racking my brain for a week trying to remember the name of the museum.

all I could think of was Courtauld.

the next step was going through all of my London research,if the brain cells didn't kick in soon.

I wanted to suggest the Wallace to my nephew. He, his wife, son (age 14) and mother-in-law are going to Britain and France for an entire month.
I wanted to suggest the Wallace because of the amour collection for my grand-nephew to see.
His mother-in-law actually lives in France (now they tell me).

Give me a baguette, brie and red wine and I will be very happy!

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
