British Sporting Art Exhibition

This fabulous exhibition will explore the genre of Sporting Art in Britain, from horseracing and hunting to boxing, football, tennis and ratting! Central to the story is John Bowes, founder of the museum and the first man to lift the renowned Triple Crown. Exhibits include work by George Stubbs, Sir Alfred Munnings, George Morland and J F Herring.

This major exhibition coincides with the opening of the new British Decorative Arts Gallery and the new Textiles and Dress Gallery.
