We take art 'Seriously...' in Swindon. As chosen by the Friends.
Whilst he was chairman of the Arts Council in the 1950s Sir Kenneth Clark said 'They take art seriously in Swindon', and in this exhibition the Friends of Museum & Art Swindon are proud to present a selection of works from the collection we think illustrate his point.
Swindon council started collecting art as long ago as 1946 and with the help of generous gifts and benefactors is still adding new work. With the establishment of the new museum at the site of the council’s former offices the Friends are proud to have been asked to present an exhibition to showcase the length and breadth of the collection, from older works by well-known artists to pieces which have been more recently acquired. We think there's something for everyone in the collection and we invite you to explore.
