The British Museum was founded in 1753, the first national public museum in the world with a simple mission statement “to preserve its collection for the use and benefit of the public who may have free access to view and peruse the same”.
In 1857 the new purpose built Museum opened with the Round Reading Room at its heart. Changes continued throughout the nineteenth century with the iconic development of the Great Court and the construction of the Norman Foster roof in 2000.

In spring 2013, Tate Modern will stage the most comprehensive exhibition ever devoted to foremost Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. Co-organised by The Art Institute of Chicago and Tate Modern, this will be the first major Lichtenstein retrospective for twenty years, bringing together 125 of the artist's most definitive paintings and sculptures. Built on new research and scholarship, the exhibition will reassess Lichtenstein’s work and his enduring legacy.

A signature design from the Sé collection, the solid bronze Time Piece tables with a black patina finish have a bold sculptural presence. Playful yet serious the tables represent a striking addition to the interior. The Time Piece side tables are also available in lacquered wood and ceramic with an enamel or metal finish.
