Usher Gallery: Set in the beautiful grounds of the Temple Gardens, the Gallery houses an exquisite collection of Fine and Decorative arts.
"It has long been my desire and ambition to bequeath a considerable proportion of my life's work in art to Lincoln, and I hope that it might form the nucleus of an art gallery and museum worthy of the city. " James Ward Usher (1845-1921) was a successful entrepreneur and a devoted collector of decorative art.
The original Usher bequest of clocks and watches, porcelain, silver, enamels, miniatures and coins remains the core of the Usher Gallery's permanent collection, with a selection of pieces still displayed in the original cases. However, the collection has expanded and continues to grow, encompassing a wide range of Fine and Decorative Art, from Neo-Classical sculpture to contemporary portraiture and crafts. The permanent collection is supplemented by generous loans and exchanges with other museums and private collections.
