Senior Curator of Art Anne Stewart sat down with Guest Curator Kenneth McConkey to explore the fascinating story of Sir John Lavery's life, art, and his place in art history.

Sir John Lavery was an internationally renowned Belfast-born painter. 'Lavery On Location' is, in many ways, a homecoming. The exhibition includes over 70 works, many from private collections, and offers a rare opportunity to dive into Lavery's life and travels, from his education in France to his ascension as a world-class portraitist.
