The Land Girls: Cinderellas of the Soil

3 October 2009 to 14 March 2010
Free admission

The forgotten army of the land girls tell their story in this new exhibition.

The Land Girls highlights personal stories, propaganda, paintings, posters and photographs from World War II. It reveals the experiences of women as they leave their pre-war lives to learn milking, rat catching, threshing and tractor driving. At the heart of this story are the surviving items of their distinctive uniform – where it was made, who wore it, what they did, how women felt about wearing it and the reactions they encountered.

From Sickert to Gertler celebrates the lives of Bobby and Natalie Bevan and the works that hung on the walls of their home, Boxted House in Essex, which became a gathering place for artists after World War II. The exhibition contains important works alongside unusual and private works, and archival material from the period 1894-1970.
