Collections

Welcome to our Art Collections

Lancaster Arts looks after rich and varied art collections spanning thousand of years, from the archaeology of ancient Egypt and Greece to contemporary work created by artists inspired by our locality.
Based at the Peter Scott Gallery, our collections offer inspiration for artists and students, opportunities for research, and the chance for visitors to explore and enjoy human creativity past and present.
We invite you to experience the collections through visiting our temporary exhibitions, arranging a behind-the-scenes study visit to see works not on display, or connecting with the collections online.
