In 1913, Edwin Young bequeathed an art gallery, his private art collection and a large quantity of his own work, mainly watercolours, to Salisbury. His work provides a unique record of rural life in Salisbury. The historic collection is complemented by a growing collection of watercolours by other leading artists and those with a Wiltshire connection. The collection's aim is to promote the medium of watercolour, showing all movements and styles associated with this engaging art form.
