Early 2012 will see several new and exciting works being introduced to the permanent collection galleries. The Bernard Durward and George Robertson portraits of Byron Kilbourn and his wife Henrietta will go on view – quite possibly the first time these paintings have ever been publicly displayed in over 160 years.
