Current Exhibit: Art of Sir Winston Churchill
April 13, 2012 – July 29, 2012
The Art of Sir Winston Churchill exhibition features works of art (including paintings, photographs, etchings and sculpture) depicting Winston Churchill by artists who captured the likeness of one of the greatest figures of the 20th century. Several of these works have never been exhibited in the United States. Also included will be work by Sir Winston and other “pastime painters” who served in the military during World War II or the Korean War. This will be a one-of-a kind exhibition that will allow visitors to fully experience the artistic legacy of Sir Winston Churchill.
