A major undertaking, the project to make pictures and articles from the collection available to all on the internet has been supported by a number of different bodies including the New Anglia LEP, the Paul Mellon Centre, NADFAS and Lowell Libson Limited.
The Gainsborough's House permanent collection includes works from every stage of the artist's life, from his early days in Sudbury and Ipswich, to his time in Bath and London. The collection of drawings is particularly comprehensive and is one of the largest in the world, and the museum also holds a number of artefacts connected with the artist and his contemporaries.
A good deal of information plus a search tool to help you to find what you want can be found by clicking HERE.
I hope that seeing some of the works on offer will encourage people to come and experience the real thing. There is much to enjoy, including the lovely walled garden, exciting temporary exhibitions, a great shop and the interesting building that is the House itself.
