Open until 8 Jan 2023, Brought to Light shares treasures from our permanent collection, gathered over 65 years for the people of Coventry to enjoy.
Since opening in 1960, the Herbert has acquired a wide range of paintings, drawings and sculptures, and this free exhibition is a chance to look back on what we have collected and why, from John Hewitt's focus on British Life and Landscape, to our exploration of Peace and Reconciliation, and recent efforts to diversify the artists we collect from. Find out more in our video tour with Curatorial Manager Martin Roberts.
