Highlights from the Art Collection

The First Garden City Heritage Museum's art collection contains oil paintings, watercolours and sketches which relate to the social history of Letchworth, the World’s first Garden City.

The highlights reproduced here indicate the range and variety of subject matter & artistic ability within the collection, from portraits of former leading citizens to Garden City views and interiors of former factories.  

We are unable to display much of the collection in our permanent displays but try to include as many of the paintings as possible in our regularly-changing exhibition programme.

This online exhibition collection opens up the artworks for everyone to enjoy - it provides a perfect snapshot of the town, a view of Letchworth garden City and its people, through artists’ eyes…

These highlights from the art collection are also available in a specially-produced souvenir book, priced at just £3 and available in our online store, here.
