Donated Artworks

Until January 2025

Since Bushey Museum Trust was formed in 1983 many people have generously donated works of art for the Museum collection. The donors had different reasons for giving the items, and the artworks themselves are varied in subject, media and size. The curators of this exhibition have aimed to reflect the variety of paintings, drawings and prints, selecting from a number of works since the early days of collecting up to the present day. Portraits, landscapes and still life are the prominent themes within which can be seen a display of paintings as different as Bertha Herkomer’s exquisite Still Life and Kate Cowderay’s delicate miniatures.
