On Saturday May 20 see inside the Media Centre, and gain an insight into the 大象传媒's history through its people. Portraits of nine 大象传媒 Director-Generals will be on display, from the first - Lord Reith - up to the most recently unveiled portrait of Greg Dyke by British artist John Keane. Visitors will also be able to view Faces and Folklore: an unofficial history of the 大象传媒, which draws together some of the quirkier and less known personalities and events from the 大象传媒's past to mark the 80th anniversary year of the 大象传媒's first Royal Charter. Robin Reynolds, Head of 大象传媒 Heritage, said: "The 大象传媒 has a modest but attractive art collection and we are constantly looking for ways to open it up to the public.

"While we have lent parts of the collection to art galleries, this is a chance for the public to see the portraits in sequence and to understand the stories behind them." Rory O'Connell, Manager of the 大象传媒 Heritage Collections, will give a short talk about the portraits and the accompanying exhibition throughout the day on 20 May. |
