In 2026, Knole is collaborating with artist Chinwe Russell to celebrate stories of incredible women from around the world. Chinwe’s series of portraits, '20 Historical Women who Changed the World', is a bold, colourful and historically inspired body of work which gives an insight into the lives and legacies of some remarkable women.

Paired with a carefully curated selection of Knole’s own portraiture, this exhibition will create playful links between the women who inspired her and the women who shaped the powerful estate at Knole.
