Professor Sir Simon Schama, CBE, Founding Patron

“This house should not just be a kind of shrine to one of the greatest figures that changed the way we think about our collective world and what humanity is. This house, this museum, in its magnificently expanded form, has something to say about now.”

Professor Sir Simon Schama, CBE
