23 Jan - 27 Jun 2010

An exhibition to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Admiral Lord Collingwood's death at sea on 7 March 1810.

Using objects, paintings and extracts from his letters it explores not only Collingwood's long naval career away from his home but also the influence on him of his lifelong love of Northumberland and the friends and family he left behind.

Live painting conservation - Discovery Museum's art specialists will be working on some paintings within this exhibition - click here for more details.

The exhibition is part of the Collingwood 2010 Festival - visit the festival website here.
