Head to head

A STUNNING new sculpture has been purchased by Doncaster Museum & Art Gallery after receiving a generous donation from a local couple.

The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, decided to donate after attending a talk on an exhibition of the museum’s watercolours.

They spoke to Neil McGregor, the Museums Officer for Art and Exhibitions, telling him they would like to add a new piece to its collection.
