About Turner 2022

The exhibition which inspired this talk is based around Turner's painting Walton Bridges of 1806, which was purchased by Norfolk Museums Service in 2019 and is the first oil painting by Turner to enter any public collection in Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex. To celebrate its arrival, the painting is currently touring around East Anglia. Walton Bridges is on display at Lynn Museum until 15th October 2022.

The painting was acquired due to the generous support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, also the Art Fund and a private donor.
