A rabbit and some towers, Museum Gardens, York. The walls & towers built to protect St Mary's Abbey. The scene of a battle in 1644, now a peaceful garden. @MuseumGardens @FriendsofYAG @YorksVernacular #urbansketch #drawing
How it started / How it’s going @yorkartgallery. Congratulations @MuseumGardens team, it’s a stunning transformation. #NG200 #Monet
This is amazing! 👏
After seeing the Claude Monet exhibition at York Art Gallery we went to see the wild flower meadow inspired by the Impressionist artist. A quick watercolour sketch of St Mary's Tower. With some flowers. @YorkArtGallery @MuseumGardens @Serlianna
@SimonNewton5 👋Simon, most of our updates are available on our website, although we will be posting more content on ‘X’ this year. As detailed in the local press, we recognise the increasing financial pressures experienced by the Gallery and will support where possible.
What a lovely invitation from @FriendsofYAG - click on 🔗inside image for what the descendant of one of York's most famous artists made of the trip from the Netherlands #York #Yorknews yorkpress.co.uk/news/23972725.…
Really not long until @YorkArtGallery joins the @NationalGallery's celebrations and has Monet's masterpiece 'The Water-Lily Pond' (1899) as the centrepiece of our 2024 summer exhibition - we're counting the days! 🥳🖼️🎨
Bring on the Bicentenary 🎉 There are just 200 days to go until our 200th birthday. On 10 May 2024 we come together and start celebrating 200 years of bringing people and paintings together. Get a taster of the celebrations coming up next year: bit.ly/39JAT2p
@ClarissaOakes1 @lizziecornish1 @YorkArtGallery 👋 our understanding is that this is semi-permanent display, so it should be up for a long time.
Our friends @YorkArtGallery have an amazing new exhibition-'Bloom'. 🪷 If you've been inspired by the show and fancy getting your garden into shape, then look no further than our excellent selection of gardening books. ⬇️⬇️ catalogue.exploreyork.org.uk/client/en_GB/d… 🌸🪻📚🌻 #HereForYou
Blooming marvellous- Shot the preview evening of ‘Bloom’ last week for @YorkMuseumTrust - a fabulous new exhibition on until October #york #flowers #artgallery #culture
The new special exhibition at York Art Gallery is my favourite one yet Bloom is so beautiful and vibrant 💐🌹🌷💗
It is our 190th anniversary this year! This month we look back at one of our prestigious heritage projects completed in 1887 for the York Art Gallery. Two panels were tiled for the front façade of the building, depicting the death of Leonardo da Vinci.
Our new exhibition ‘Bloom’ opens in exactly one week and we’re so excited! Here’s a glimpse of Henri Fantin-Latour’s ‘Pink Roses’.💕 ‘Bloom’ will showcase flora through paintings, works on paper, ceramics and contemporary installations. Find out more: yorkartgallery.org.uk/exhibition/blo…
