Originally organized by the British Library, this exhibition presents Oscar Wilde's life story (1854–1900) as a series of six acts, incorporating works from both institutional and private collections. All of Wilde's major works are featured, with emphasis given to the composition, publication, and reception of his plays Salomé and The Importance of Being Earnest; his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the manuscript of which is in the Morgan Library's collection. Family objects and photographs are on loan from the collection of Merlin Holland, Wilde's grandson.
