Meffan Museum and Art Gallery

Description

Opened in 1898 and gifted to the people of Forfar as The Meffan Institute, today the Meffan Museum and Art Gallery is ANGUSalive’s flagship professional gallery for contemporary art exhibitions.

The Meffan is also home to the largest store of Angus Council’s fine art collection, cared for by ANGUSalive.

Join ANGUSalive Museums & Galleries staff to learn more about the picture store, exploring the different types of artwork collected for the people of Angus over more than 100 years. The team will also showcase some of the conservation work that has taken place in recent years, with before and after examples and detailed conservator work reports for some items.
