New Research into British Collections
The National Gallery, London
The National Gallery takes part of the National Inventory Research Project. The project team has gone into regional museums to shed new light on European paintings from 1200 to 1900 - discovering a rich variety of stories, interpreting symbolism, giving attributions and enhancing understanding of these little-known pictures.
The National Inventory Research Project has been supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Getty Foundation and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
Over the past three years, the National Gallery has been part of the National Inventory Research Project.
The project team has gone into regional museums to shed new light on European paintings from 1200 to 1900 - discovering a rich variety of stories, interpreting symbolism, giving attributions and enhancing understanding of these little-known pictures.
Discoveries will bring together paintings spanning 500 years from across the country, some of which have never been seen in public before. It will demonstrate the astonishing range and quality of our UK public collections and illustrate the wide variety of work that has been done by the project.
The exhibition will coincide with the launch of the project’s online database of over 7,000 paintings in UK museums and galleries, providing public access to information discovered as a result of the National Inventory Research Project – information which has already resulted in many new collection displays and educational initiatives in the institutions involved
