Art Collection
Our fine art collection was once the personal collection of the museum’s founder, the artist Thomas Stuart Smith. Smith generously bequeathed his own artwork, his personal collection, and the money to create what is now The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum.
Today our collection is diverse and includes artwork from across Europe, as well as local scenes and artwork by Stirling artists.
