- Harland & Wolff Collection, National Museums NI
- A print of this work is also available from our Art UK shop. National Museums NI is a founding partner of Art UK, the online home for every public art collection in the United Kingdom. The Art UK website brings together art from over 3,400 British institutions and shows over 300,000 works by over 50,000 artists.
National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
