It has been described as the ‘best small museum in Europe’. The Galleries are a treasure trove and will provide a stunning and unique environment for the Welcome Reception.

Galleries I to V house European paintings, furniture and sculpture art from the likes of Fragonard to Picasso, Monet to Stanley Spencer. Utilising a number of the galleries in the museum the reception will take place amongst paintings by esteemed artists including Hogarth, Stubbs, Gainsborough, Monet, Fragonard and Stanley Spencer.
