WE’VE been waiting two tantalising years. Now there are just four more months to go until York Art Gallery reopens and today we reveal details of what those first displays will be.

Among the most impressive promises to be the Centre of Ceramic Art, housing the largest collection of British studio ceramics in the world. Then there will be an exhibition curated and created by York artist Mark Hearld, not to mention major works by David Hockney and L S Lowry.

Of course the Lycett Green collection of Italian Old Masters is what sets York apart as a regional gallery and new research has revealed some fascinating new findings.

It will be exciting to find out what they are and great to have our gallery back.
