Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration to Open in 2026
The Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration is set to open in Clerkenwell, central London, in May 2026.
Located in the grounds of an 18th-century abandoned waterworks, the centre will feature regularly changing exhibitions on illustration across three galleries, including works loaned from Sir Quentin Blake's own archive.
"I have long dreamt of a permanent place with Illustration above the door, and now the amazing reality is that we have it. I am proud to think the centre has my name on it, illustration is a wonderful universal and varied language."
The idea for the centre came from Sir Quentin Blake, best known for illustrating Roald Dahl's books, who established a charity for illustration in 2002.
Sir Quentin's previous endeavour, the House of Illustration, closed in 2020 after six years of operation.
