  • Partnerships: an NMDC Briefing
    Partnerships: an NMDC briefing Museums of all sizes and types regularly work in partnership to deliver collaborative projects with other museums, educational establishments, and heritage and community organisations across the country. Many of these partnerships are based around the loan of objects, including from national museums, but others focus on developing new public programming, sharing skills and expertise, education and learning, and working with communities. Museums continue to adapt the focus and nature of partnership working as a way of managing the impact of cuts to public funding and developing greater resilience. Museums loan thousands of objects to other museums across the UK every year as part of mutually beneficial collaborative projects. In 2012/13, DCMS-sponsored museums lent objects to 2727 venues in the UK (a marked increase from 1530 in 2008/09).i Examples include: Star object loans: National Gallery Masterpiece tour (sponsored by Christie's) opened with Manet's The Execution of Maximillian at The Beaney in Canterbury. It was seen by nearly 21,000 people before moving on to Barnard Castle and Coventry. Until 2016, one major National Gallery painting will tour each year. Loans of local significance: the loan of the Lindisfarne Gospels from the British Library to Durham Cathedral in 2012 generated £8.3m in economic benefit and was visited by 100,000 peopleii; Long-term loans to provide content for a museum or historic house: apart from one locomotive, the entire collection of locomotives and stock on display at STEAM in Swindon is a long-term loan from the National Railway Museum. Larger museums and specialist collections tour complete exhibitions to venues around the country.

Other items are listed in our online catalogues. Call: 0113 378 7017 Email: [email protected] Visit: www.leeds.gov.uk/libraries leedslibraries leedslibraries Pottery in Leeds - a brief introduction Leeds has a long association with pottery production. The 18th and 19th centuries are often regarded as the creative zenith of the industry, with potteries producing many superb quality pieces to rival the country’s finest. The foremost manufacturer in this period was the Leeds Pottery Company, established around 1770 in Hunslet. The company are best known for their creamware made from Cornish clay and given a translucent glaze. Although other potteries in the country made creamware, the Leeds product was of such a high quality that all creamware became popularly known as ‘Leedsware’. The company’s other products included blackware and drabware. The Leeds Pottery was perhaps the largest pottery in Yorkshire. In the early 1800s it used over 9000 tonnes of coal a year and exported to places such as Russia and Brazil. Business suffered in the later 1800s due to increased competition and the company closed in 1881. Production was restarted in 1888 by a ‘revivalist’ company which used old Leeds Pottery designs and labelled their products ‘Leeds Pottery’. The revivalist company closed in 1957. Another key manufacturer was Burmantofts Pottery, established around 1845 in the Burmantofts district of Leeds.

  • The Leeds Arts Club and the New Age: Art and Ideas in a Time of War by Tom Steele Thank You Very Much Nigel, That's a Very Generous Introduction
    TRANSCRIPT Into the Vortex: The Leeds Arts Club and the New Age: Art and Ideas in a Time of War by Tom Steele Thank you very much Nigel, that's a very generous introduction. Thank you for inviting me back to the Leeds Art Gallery where I spent so many happy hours. As Nigel said, the book was actually published in 1990, but it was a process of about 5 or 6 year work, in fact it's turned into a PHD. I've not done a lot of other work on it since, I have to say some very very good work has been done on Tom Perry and other peoples in the meantime, and it's grievously in danger of being the new edition, which I might or might not get around to, but maybe somebody else will. Anyway, what I'm going to do is to read a text. I'm not very good at talking extensively, and it should take about 40 minutes, 45 minutes. This should leave us some time for a discussion afterwards, I hope. Right, I wish I'd thought about the title and raw text before I offered the loan up to the gallery, because it makes more sense, and you'll see why as we go along. I want to take the liberty of extending the idea of war to cover the entire decade 1910-1920, one of the most rebellious and innovative periods in the history of British art. By contrast, in cultural terms, we now live in a comparatively quiet period.

  • Florence Nightingale and Her Connection with Leeds
    Florence Nightingale and her connection with Leeds In 2020 we celebrated the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. On 25th of November, Stephanie Davies, Community Curator at Lotherton Hall kindly gave a very interesting Power Point presentation about Florence via Zoom to the u3a History group and we were joined by several members of the wider Garforth and Kippax u3a group. Some of the information provided is described below. The talk centred on Florence Nightingale’s connections to both Lotherton Hall and Leeds General Infirmary. The talk provided a fascinating example of how, in her post-Crimea years, Florence worked tirelessly with specialists in different fields to further her causes. The talk was accompanied by a wealth of vivid pictures illustrating everything from ward layouts to architectural details. Leeds General Infirmary was first created in 1767 as a place for the relief of the sick and injured poor in the Leeds parish. The first site was in a private house on Kirkgate. After four years the infirmary moved to a new site on Infirmary Street near City Square on the site of Aspire, previously the old Yorkshire Bank. It remained there until 1869. In 1862, Florence Nightingale was consulted on the building of a new hospital in Leeds by William Beckett Denison who was a banker and conservative MP. The architect appointed for the new Infirmary was George Gilbert Scott, the head of England’s largest architects. He was also the architect for St Pancras Hotel adjoining St Pancras Station and there are many similarities between the two gothic design buildings.
