Exhibition 'Deauville, 1893, by Eugène Boudin' in Harris Museum and Art Gallery
We asked people who work at Red Scar Business Park to choose a painting from The Courtauld Gallery’s world famous collection of French Impressionist paintings to go on display at the Harris. They chose Eugène Boudin’s sunny view of Deauville, painted in 1893, of a fashionable seaside resort in Normandy favoured by Parisian holiday makers since the 19th century. It is shown alongside alongside archive photographs, objects and film to highlight the history of the Preston Courtauld factory and the Red Scar site. Visitors will also be able to listen to former employees talking about what it was like to work at the factory in the 1960s and 70s.
