2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of J.M.W. Turner.
The Trust is pleased to be supporting the educational work of the Turner’s House Trust, based at Sandycombe Lodge, the retreat that Turner built for himself and his father in Twickenham in 1813.
Working with 10 local primary schools, the Turner’s House educational programme introduces children to art and history through visits to Turner’s House and taking part in interactive museum workshops. As well as encountering Turner’s own art, children explore their local history, learn how to care for, catalogue and write about objects for display, and develop the skills to mount their own exhibition for family, friends and the local community.
