Gerald Moore Gallery announced two new exhibitions, Putting Away Childish Things and Indian Art Form of Pichwai: A Sacred Timeless Journey.
Both exhibitions showcase the gallery’s ongoing support for local organisations and diverse voices, celebrating creativity and cultural expression within our community.
Putting Away Childish Things is on view in our GF Gallery from 5 March to 4 April 2026. The Private View will take place on Thursday 5 March 2026, from 6 – 8pm, to which you are warmly invited.
The exhibition showcases objects from the collection of the Museum of Everyday Life dating from the 1920s to the 1970s, exploring experiences of childhood in London, with a particular focus on children’s lives and lived experiences.
The Museum of Everyday Life draws from the archive of the Lewisham Local History Society, an extraordinary collection comprising thousands of objects, images, and items of ephemera spanning more than two hundred years. While the collection is accessible digitally via the museum’s website, the physical objects are stored in a location not open to the public.
This exhibition brings a selection of these rarely seen childhood-related objects into public view, offering students and local communities in Lewisham, Bromley, and London the opportunity to engage directly with the material histories of growing up in the twentieth century.

Also, there is Indian Art Form of Pichwai: A Sacred Timeless Journey presented by Nirvana Fine Arts in our Paul Henderson Gallery from 5 – 28 March 2026. The Private View will also be on Thursday 5 March from 6 to 8pm.Nirvana Fine Arts brings together over 20 Pichwai paintings that trace a sacred, centuries‑long journey from the temple town of Nathdwara, Rajasthan to the living canvas of our contemporary moment.
Rooted in a 400‑year‑old devotional tradition, these paintings once adorned the inner sanctums of Shreenathji temples, narrating the sacred tales of Krishna to their worshippers through the unfolding cycles of his divine celebrations.
Also on display will be a selection of Madhubani work, a traditional, vibrant folk art originating from Bihar, India and Nepal, characterised by intricate, double-lined and geometric patterns, usually created by women.
