Save the Hogarth for Leicester

The Wollaston Family painted by William Hogarth in 1730 has been at New Walk Museum & Art Gallery for the last 75 years but to keep it in Leicester we need your help to raise £16,600.

Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.

The crowdfunding campaign was not successful but it was also only a small part of the £565k fundraising campaign. If you would like to make your donation directly via www.leicester.gov.uk/hogarth it would be greatly appreciated and would be used to conserve, clean and present the work for future generations to enjoy.
