Members of The Chelsea Society attended a Reception on 6th September 2018 at the residence of the Ambassador of Spain to the Court of St. James, His Excellency Seňor Carlos Bastarreche, at 24 Belgrave Square, which contains many fine examples of European art.
Members had an opportunity to discuss with diplomatic staff matters of common interest between our two countries, and heard a lecture by the curator of the Spanish Gallery Auckland Project – one of the most important private collections in the UK of Spanish art from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. This will open in County Durham in 2019.
