The Foundling Museum’s autumn exhibition, The Mother and The Weaver: Art from the Ursula Hauser Collection, showcases the collections of the Foundling Hospital, a hospital established in 1739 as a home for children at risk of abandonment. The exhibition’s theme is ‘the unseen mother’, a central part of the museum’s story and fascinating topic encompassing motherhood, childhood, love, loss, sexuality and identity. More than 40 works have been sourced, all from women artists. Highlights include paintings, textiles, sculptures, and multimedia works from artists including Rita Ackermann, Louise Bourgeois, and Alina Szapocznikow.
