This exhibition will feature a selection of the many superb gifts of art that the museum has received from generous donors in recent years. These gifts, which have helped to strengthen and expand the museum’s collections of paintings, sculpture, textiles and works on paper, pay tribute to the keen eye of the collectors and highlight how future audiences will benefit from their vision.
