The County Art Collection has moved from the Development Centre in Wheathampstead to the Schools Library Service at New Barnfield.

There are approximately 1500 items in the Collection comprising not only paintings, but also original prints, textiles, sculptures, ceramics and glass. The Collection offers children the opportunity, often for the first time, to have experience of original works of art made by professional artists and craftsmen. Many of the artists purchased from, in the past, are today, regarded as being among the century's most important.

To see and borrow from the Collection go to the Hertfordshire Grid for Learning Schools Intranet Home Page or www.intra.thegrid.org.uk/hertsart on your school computer.
