We’re really sorry, but the Grimshaw exhibition in the Art Gallery and the West Wing of the Rotunda Museum are currently closed due to water leaks following recent heavy rainfall. We’re working to open them again as soon as possible – thanks for your understanding.

A range of portraits of local people, artists, royalty, and the aristocracy from the Scarborough Collection.

Exploring the role of portraiture in art, the exhibition also features a portrait of the Scarborough hotelier and art collector Tom Laughton by Bruce Turner (1894-1963). Laughton donated several of the portraits to Scarborough Art Gallery, including that of the French Empress Eugenie.

The earliest painting in the show will be a late 16th century portrait of an unknown man by an unknown artist, donated to the collection in 2022.
