Littlehampton Museum is proud to present the final exhibition of the year ‘Archive Art’.
The display, now on in the Hearne Gallery, showcases artwork from the Museum’s collection which is normally hidden away in the archives.
Littlehampton Museum looks after over 600 pieces of art, ranging from large scale oil paintings to small pen and ink sketches. The majority of pieces have a strong Littlehampton connection, for example depictions of local scenes or sketches relating to local events. However some of the collection, mainly pieces donated to the Museum during its early years, is a little more unusual, with subjects including the funeral procession of Queen Elizabeth I and prints of ancient Egyptian imagery.
This exhibition celebrates the whole collection by showcasing just some of these pieces from the archive which are not normally on view to the public.
“It’s wonderful to be getting more of our collection out for visitors to see” said Councillor Billy Blanchard-Cooper, Chair of Littlehampton Town Council’s Community Resources Committee. ‘This is a great opportunity to get a glimpse at just some of the wonderful things we care for at Littlehampton Museum’.
