"The Vaughan Bequest of Turner Watercolours"
2002-01-01 until 2002-01-31
National Gallery of Scotland
Edinburgh, , UK United Kingdom

The New Year begins at the National Gallery of Scotland with its annual display of magnificent Turner watercolours, bequeathed in 1900 by the London art collector Henry Vaughan. Dating from throughout Turner's long career, the thirty-eight works of the Vaughan Bequest have been exhibited annually at the National Gallery for one hundred years.

Vaughan stipulated that the watercolours must not be subjected to permanent display, since continual exposure to light would result in their fading. In his will he ruled that the collection could only be shown in January, when daylight is at its weakest and least destructive levels. As a result, the annual January exhibition has become a tradition at the National Gallery, despite the fact that modern technology now enables the light levels to be monitored and controlled at all times.
