Some of the best pictures in Swindon’s collection of modern art will be on display to celebrate the diversity of the town.
The online exhibition The Beauty of Diversity has been put together by the Women’s Group of The Harbour Project, which works with refugees and asylum seekers in town.
The Harbour Project has worked with Swindon Museum & Art Gallery to put on the exhibition as part of the borough council’s Art on Tour scheme.
Its aim is to share more of the town’s collection across the town – especially since the closure of the museum’s home in Old Town, Apsley House.
Katie Ackrill, Art on Tour’s engagement officer, said: “We’re so excited to have been able to work with the Women’s Group from The Harbour Project. It gave us the opportunity to hear totally different and fresh perspectives on well-loved pieces of art from the Swindon Collection.
