£478,000 investment in Grundy Art Gallery. 👩‍🎨

The council, along with Arts Council England's Museum Estate and Development Fund will invest in the building to carry out structural and repair works which will mean better heating, electrical improvements, wall and roof repairs and enhancements to environmental conditions needed to continue to display major works safely.

The gallery is currently hosting Claude Monet's 'The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil’ (1872) until June as part of the National Gallery Masterpiece Tour 2025–2027.

It also comes as Blackpool is bidding to be UK City of Culture 2029. To find out more and support our bid, go to https://tinyurl.com/CityofCulture2029

A masterpiece by Monet is now on display in Grundy Art Gallery 🖼️

The 1872 artwork, The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil, is free to view, giving residents and visitors the opportunity to experience something truly special in Blackpool.

The painting shows a riverside scene near the town of Argenteuil, where Monet moved in 1871.

It will be on display until June 13th as part of a tour organised by The National Gallery in London, and every local school will be invited to view the work by the prolific French artist, who died in 1926.

Will you be going to view Monet's work?

🎨Blackpool’s Grundy Art Gallery recently celebrated a landmark cultural moment, welcoming local dignitaries, cultural leaders and invited guests to an exclusive preview event, marking the arrival of a rare masterpiece by French impressionist painter Claude Monet.

We were there at the launch, and you've got a chance to see this artwork too, right here in Blackpool.
