NEW! The Mitford Summer Art Series: Privilege, Eccentricity, and Scandal.

We are thrilled to introduce our new Summer Art Series, "The Mitfords: Privilege, Eccentricity, and Scandal." For the next six weeks, we uncover the remarkable stories of this fascinating group of rebels and rule breakers.

Wit, idealism, and rivalry. The Mitford Sisters had arguably the sharpest voices of the early 20th century. Famous and unforgettable, the siblings—six sisters and one brother—were born between 1904 and 1920 into the British aristocracy. They were raised in a world of privilege, eccentricity, and isolation.

The BBC’s new six-part series, *Outrageous – The True Story of the Mitford Sisters,*has reignited interest in their dazzling lives and contradictions. Set in pre-WWII Britain, the series examines how these sisters’ navigated politics, fame, scandal, love, all the while staying fiercely themselves, passionate, creative, and outspoken.
