Thank you - this is a must-see.

Although when I click on the museum's page:

"Told through the stories of the three collectors and the homes the collection grew around, this exhibition explores a remarkable time queer history and the history of British art."

Luckily it's easy to rise above such things when the art is of this quality.

What a beautiful collection of paintings. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It’s sad that collecting art has come to be seen as a privilege exclusive to the rich. My own grandparents owned a piece by George W. Morrison, a very minor, self-taught Ulster painter - he’d previously been a cricketer. They saw a display of his work at a department store in Belfast called Anderson & McAuley’s, in the 1960’s, and just bought one. Its provenance is the time it spent on my grandparents’ wall, which is pretty special to us.
