We are currently upgrading the storage furniture in one of these spaces and have brought out the works stored there and placed them on the walls in this gallery. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for visitors and staff alike, as it is one of the largest group of collection works on display in the Henry’s history.

While these works are out of storage, we are embarking on a large-scale collections care project in the middle of the gallery. We are focusing on three key tasks:

Completing these tasks will increase the accessibility of our collection for staff, visitors, researchers, and colleagues. The easier it is to find a work, and the more information about it that is available, the better people will be able to enjoy it, study it, and benefit from its inclusion in the Henry’s collection.

As the project progresses, works will be taken down from the wall and brought into the work space in order to be processed. They will then be returned to their improved storage space, so the gallery walls will slowly empty as we progress in this vital work. We invite you to enjoy this rare view into collection care and this unprecedented opportunity to see so many of the works in the Henry’s stewardship.
