| Notes | Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery is pleased to present the first new exhibition of 2016: Now for Tomorrow II, which looks at some of the contemporary art and craft acquired by Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery since 2010. The exhibition runs from 30 January to 17 April 2016. When Nottingham Castle first opened as the Midland Counties Art Museum in 1878, it immediately began collecting art and craft made by artists living and working at that time. Work was drawn together from near and far, including the 1878 Paris Exhibition, to inspire and delight local people. What was considered then to be different and ground-breaking is now widely popular. This approach to collecting art has continued. Before any new work is acquired, consideration is given to how it will sit alongside the existing collection. Care is taken to make sure new items fit with those already in the collection although the styles and techniques may differ. [...] |
