Carl Winter (10 January 1906 – 21 May 1966) was a British art historian and museum curator.
[citation needed] Winter was appointed as an assistant keeper in the Departments of Engraving, Illustration and Design, and of Paintings, at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1931, where he worked with Basil Long, leading the department after Long's death in 1936.
[citation needed] Along with Patrick Trevor-Roper and Peter Wildeblood, Winter gave evidence to the Wolfenden Committee, whose report led in 1967 to the decriminalization of sex between adult male homosexuals.
[5] His testimony to the committee has been portrayed on-screen in the BBC dramatisation, Consenting Adults.
[citation needed] Winter married Theodora (née Barlow) in 1936 and divorced in 1953.
