The Swindon Art Collection – of art and ceramics that is. Swindon, as we know, is known for many things. The GWR, Garrards, a gharial, Triumph lingerie, Bluebird toys, XTC and a magical roundabout. To name but a few. And some of those things are VERY well known. But what’s not so well-known, beyond the art world that is, is the astonishing collection of modern British art that resides here in our town. In summary, this collection comprises somewhere in the region of 800 paintings, sculptures, ceramics and multi-media pieces. Together they form one of the most important collections of modern and contemporary art in the UK.
