The large collection at Bushey Museum and Art Gallery reflects over two centuries of art, in paintings, drawings and prints. From 1800 and the Monro Circle, including William Henry Hunt, Thomas Hearne and Henry Edridge, to Sir Hubert von Herkomer and his School in the late 19th-century, to modern art of the mid 20th-century and later. There are landscapes and portraits, pictures of everyday life, often with social realist comment, marine and flower pictures and modern abstract paintings. There is also an exhibition of major horse paintings by Lucy Kemp-Welch, best known for her illustrations to Black Beauty.
The museum also holds neo-Gothic furniture and fittings from Herkomer’s house, sculptures, rare Bushey Heath lustre ceramics, church silver dating from the 17th-century, an embroidery celebrating the Millennium, a costume collection, and objects, documents, maps, plans and photographs illustrating local trades, services, domestic life and World Wars I and II.
