We are delighted to present Stephen Farthing's Museums of the World, a collection of 19 paintings produced between 2015-2017, by Royal Academy Exhibitions Committee Chairman Stephen Farthing RA, of the interiors of public and private museums around the world. They were inspired by his work with British museums including the Royal Academy and the Ashmolean and by a life of travelling the world as the husband of an American diplomat. The work combines a probing look at the history of collecting while painted with Farthing's usual good humour.
