Hurn’s personal selection of around 1,500 of his best photographs. The second is his private collection of around 700 prints by other major photographers. Hurn, 83, has been building the latter collection since 1958. The combined value is around £2 million.
MOVEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Hurn explains: ‘My home town is Cardiff and one of my earliest memories is my mum taking me to the museum. I remember her telling me the exhibits had been donated. Now I’m in a position to make a donation myself. Photography has been wonderful for me and
doing this is a way for me to give something back.’
Swaps: Photographs from the David Hurn Collection of Photography will be on display at National Museum Cardiff from 30 September to 11 March 2018. For details see museum.wales
