🌷 The Art of Looking: from Dutch Masters to Modern Britain
Opening Friday 29 May 2026 | On until January 2027
Discover a major new exhibition at The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum, bringing together Dutch and Belgian masters from the de Ferrières Collection alongside striking 20th-century British works.
From Gerrit Dou and Jan Steen to Stanley Spencer and Vanessa Bell, the exhibition invites visitors to slow down, look closely and uncover stories that reveal themselves over time.
In a world of constant speed and distraction, the exhibition creates space for sustained attention, through an environment designed for discovery, the display encourages a deeper engagement with the works, revealing layers of meaning that unfold through time.
