Discover more about the exhibition Turner's Watercolours: Scotland's Vaughan Bequest with exhibition Curator Anne Hodge, in advance of the exhibition's run from 1-31 January 2025.

To mark the 250th anniversary of Turner’s birth, the National Gallery of Ireland is undertaking an exciting exchange with the National Galleries of Scotland. In January 2025, the National Galleries of Scotland’s group of 38 Vaughan Bequest Turner watercolours will go on display in the Print Gallery at the National Gallery of Ireland. At the same time, the National Galleries of Scotland will display the National Gallery of Ireland’s Turner collection in their Royal Scottish Academy building. The two exhibitions will provide visitors with a rare opportunity to view a new selection of Turner’s masterful watercolours from Henry Vaughan’s renowned collection, in familiar surroundings. This exchange, very much in the spirit of Vaughan's generous bequest, comes as a result of many years of discussion and planning by the two institutions.
