Its inaugural exhibition features around 60 works by Roger Mayne, highlighting postwar London's working-class children on destitute streets, a significant departure from the gallery's usual impressionist and post-impressionist collection.
Mayne's photographs resonated with the discussions around children's rights and progressive theories of that era, making him a notable figure shaping British policies on children and families.
