VISITORS to Bolton Museum, Art Gallery and Aquarium will have the opportunity to view Bolton's Thomas Kershaw collection.

Four Kershaw panels, owned by The Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers which are usually housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum, will be on display.

Another four, which have been loaned from Edinburgh's Telford College, will also be on show.

It is part of a joint exhibition with the Painting Craft Teachers' Association and the wonderful pieces will be displayed alongside work by some of the country's best contemporary grainers and marblers.
