Yaffa Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 If anyone can't make this event - the LJCC Fusion and Pavlova 2012 are organising a WL museum tour (also with transport - from Ivy House) on 28th June. This one costs £25. From the LJCC website: http://www.ljcc.org.uk/events/2099-white-lodge-museum-tour.html: Our excursion will include a visit to the Ballet Museum, a tour of the School and a talk by Museum curator Anna Meadmore on Anna Pavlova and the Fred Step - the link between Pavlova and British ballet.

Yaffa Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Sorry, forgot to say that in addition to the above, the WL Museum offers its own free tours with free Park and Ride service (from Sheen Gate) throughout the school year. Details on the RBS website: http://www.royal-ballet-school.org.uk/wlm_visitor_info.php?s=3 Last time I visited, they had several new collections on display.
