It houses one of the most important private collections of Old Master paintings, drawings and prints in the country and consists mainly of Italian art of the 14th-18th centuries. Since 1769 it has been open to the public, which makes it the oldest permanently open art museum in the UK. It has been a cradle of inspiration for the wider community and an academic research resource for local and international scholars since its beginnings.
