Art UK

Art UK was launched in 2016 as a successor to Your Paintings. Art UK (a registered charity) is a joint initiative between the BBC and other organisations and participating collections and museums from across the UK. It aims to show the entire UK national collection of oil paintings, the stories behind the paintings, and where to see them.
