Some of Britain’s best known and most-loved buildings can be described as English Baroque. But where exactly did its architects, such as Sir Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor and Sir John Vanbrugh, get their ideas? Discover how these and other architects took inspiration from European Baroque buildings through drawings from the RIBA Library collections and the recently acquired model of Easton Neston (above), exquisitely crafted to the designs of Hawksmoor in 1694.

The exhibition coincides with the major V&A exhibition, Baroque 1620–1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence.
