About
Rooms with a view is a series of conversations hosted by Lily Le Brun who invites personalities from the world of design and interiors to discuss the importance of art and art history in their practice and profession.
Designed to give an insight into their life and career our guests explore themes of art within the home, history of art within a domestic space, through three paintings they have chosen from the collection.
