Marcel Breuer in Bristol - A Tour of Modernism

A guided tour of the Stradling Collection exploring Marcel Breuer's 1930s collaboration with Bristol furniture maker Crofton Gane.

This tour explores how Bauhaus designer Marcel Breuer left his mark on Bristol through his 1930s partnership with local furniture maker Crofton Gane, which produced iconic modernist designs and the Gane Pavilion co-designed with F.R.S. Yorke. The Stradling Collection holds rare Breuer pieces from this period alongside over 2,000 objects spanning ceramics, glass, sculpture, furniture and industrial design. Visitors will also hear design stories from Bristol, including the now-closed Guild, drawn from the collection's 20th and 21st-century holdings.
