Lytham St Annes Art Collection

The Lytham St Annes Art Collection is a public art collection of over 240 artworks in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.

Fylde Borough Council are the custodians of the paintings, sculptures, prints and artefacts that are mostly held within the Lytham St Annes Town Hall.

The collection was started in 1925 by the donation of Herd Lassie, painted by Richard Ansdell, to the townspeople of Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.

[2][3] One of the most notable paintings in the collection is The Vision of Catherine of Aragon (also called Queen Katherine's Dream[4]) by Henry Fuseli, which is estimated to be worth about £1.5-2 million, according to a 2013 valuation by Christie's, making it by far the most valuable item in the collection.

[6] In June 2013 the Fylde Decorative and Fine Arts Society was awarded £24,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to promote the collection.
