Leicester Arts & Museums Service is delighted to work with the BBC and Public Catalogue Foundation on Your Paintings.
Your Paintings is a website which aims to show the entire UK national collection of oil paintings, the stories behind the paintings, and where to see them for real. It is made up of paintings from thousands of museums and other public institutions around the country.
There are an estimated 200,000 oil paintings in the UK's national collection, with the first 63,000 paintings already on the Your Paintings website. These include over 700 oil paintings in Leicester's Fine Art collection, featuring works by Edgar Degas, Laurence Stephen Lowry and Francis Bacon.
