Culture Perth and Kinross are responsible for running the regions’ Museums, Archives and Libraries. Within Perth Museums & Art Gallery, The Fergusson Gallery, and Alyth Museum are paintings, drawings, sculpture, silver, glass and ceramics. Of particular note is the JD Fergusson Collection. Fergusson was one of the most important and influential artists in Britain in the first half of the 20th century. Born in Edinburgh, with ancestral links to Perthshire, he spent much of his career in France and is now most associated with the Scottish Colourist group. The Fergusson Gallery holds his vast collection of artwork and associated archive, along with the archive of his lifelong companion, the pioneer of modern dance, Margaret Morris.
