The Collection: Art and Archaeology in Lincolnshire consists of the combined collections of the City and CountyMuseum(founded 1906) and the Usher Gallery (founded 1927).
Our art collection is of local, national and international importance. The art collection is the finest in the County and includes superb contemporary art and craft, paintings, sculpture, porcelain, clocks and watches. Treasures include paintings by Turner, Stubbs and Lowry, major porcelain collections and clocks with wooden movements by Robert Sutton.
The archaeological collection covers 300,000 years of history from the earliest inhabitants of Lincolnshire to the Eighteenth Century. Some highlights of the collections are prehistoric finds from the River Witham, treasures from Anglo-Saxon burials and finds from Lincoln's rich Roman, Viking and Medieval heritage.
There are also significant collections of coins and medals, arms and armour, ethnography and natural science.
