From 5th September - 3rd October 2025 we will be hosting the loan exhibition T. Howard Somervell, Before and After Everest. 50 years after his death, T. Howard Somervell (1890-1975), OBE, Olympic Gold Medal recipient, First World War field surgeon, medical missionary and mountaineer, is still not fully recognised for his artistic legacy. Following several years of planning and discussions among those who share the conviction that Somervell is an underrated artist, with the assistance of the Alpine Club, we have brought together an exhibition of selected pictures to celebrate his achievements as a landscape painter. Featured works include important loans from institutions and private collectors, some of which have never been exhibited in public before. An exhibition catalogue is available to purchase here or directly from the exhibition.
