The Royal School of Needlework (RSN) was founded in 1872 to keep the art of hand embroidery alive and to offer suitable occupation to ladies who would otherwise be destitute. Dr. Susan Kay-Williams, chief executive, RSN, will explore objects from its collection and show the wide range of work produced by its students today. Members free. Included with admission.
