Among the highlights of the collection are
landscape paintings by Van Huysum (right), the well known Dutch
flower painter, 'View of Port St Denis' by Sickert (left), the
leading British Impressionist painter, and the Ealand Warwick
Bequest, a collection of works by top British artists from the
1960's.
There are many paintings, prints and drawings
with a Peterborough connection including watercolours of
Peterborough Cathedral by J M W Turner and David Cox.
Portraits and landscapes selected from the
permanent art collection are usually on display around the museum,
and a sample is always on show in the Art Gallery. By
appointment, we are happy to show visitors works not currently
displayed.
Many of Peterborough’s most popular cultural and sporting
facilities are part of Vivacity, an independent,
not-for-profit organisation with charitable status.

the trust on the Vivacity website.
