We are pleased to announce that on the 20th March 2016 The Museum of National History, at Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark, opened the largest ever exhibition of Jonathan Yeo’s work to date. The show includes several new paintings, alongside many of the best known works from his 25 year career, and is the first retrospective by a British artist at the museum.
The first official portrait of the former Danish Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, commissioned by the Museum of National History, was unveiled at the Castle, and now hangs in the exhibition until it closes on the 30th June. This painting of Demark’s first ever female PM will eventually join the museum’s permanent collection of historic portraits. The formal opening ceremony included speeches from the Museum's Director, Mette Skougaard, the British Ambassador to Denmark, and Dr Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the NPG London.
