So long, farewell to Beth McIntyre, Senior Curator: Prints & Drawings, leaving after 22 years @AmgueddfaCymru (here with her fave #Cezannes 🏊🌙). You’ve been a great colleague, and we owe much to your expertise and experience. The #GwenJohns will miss you and so will we!

Ganed #GwenJohn heddiw ym 1876. Yn ffodus i ni, Amgueddfa Cymru sy'n gofalu am y casgliad mwyaf a pwysicaf o’i gwaith.
Gwen John was born #OTD in 1876. Fortunately for us, the largest and most important collection of her work is here in #Wales at @museum_cardiff

After a racist bomb attack in 1963 which killed 4 children, Welsh artist John Petts was moved to make a new window for the 16th St Baptist Church Birmingham AL. The window, featuring a black Jesus was paid for by the people of Wales in #solidarity with the #CivilRightsMovement

.This is how to wear 'go to hell' check trousers without coming off like Rupert Bear. Love it. #InDerekWilliamsWeTrust Thankyou @NatMuseumArt for sharing #art #collectors
Art lover Derek Williams was born #OTD in 1929. He collected major 20th c works of art from John Piper to Lucian Freud, and his fabulous collection of 20th c art is cared for @Museum_Cardiff @DWTCollection

Williams died in 1984, but in 1992 a Trust was established in his name to enable greater public enjoyment of art. The Trust continues to collect modern and contemporary work today.
