Art Gallery Project

The Abbey Museum is bulging at the seams.

Our collections of antiquities and works of art - spanning some 500,000 years of human achievements - have been growing steadily from public donations.

But our splendid collections of fine art - Renaissance and Baroque paintings, Royal Academy watercolours, rare medieval wood panels, sculpture and priceless icons from eastern Europe - are unable to be displayed because of a lack of space.

The continued success of the Museum since its opening nearly 20 years ago has resulted in the need for a vigorous program of expansion. The Board is currently looking at concepts for a new gallery to house the Old Masters Collections.

Museums are about perpetuity. Imagine looking at an object that was already thousands of years old when the pyramids were built. Or a sculpture made in the same studio where Michelangelo worked? Your contribution could help preserve these priceless treasures.

Donors wishing to make major donations are invited to contact the Board of the Museum to discuss naming rights for the future Art Gallery extensions.

Your contribution could help your name become part of history.
