Museum Collections Centre - 25 Dollman Street - warehouse - Bust of a Woman

I went to the Open Day at the Museum Collections Centre - 25 Dollman Street on the 13th of May 2012.

 

At the Dollman Street Stores they have objects that are not currently on display in the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery or Think Tank. Some items used to be in the old Museum of Science & Industry on Newhall Street.

 

In the warehouse at the Museum Collections Centre - 25 Dollman Street. Lots of large items in here.

 

Various busts in the warehouse.

 

(On the right of Pitt) Bust of a Woman.

Laurence MacDonald, 1799 - 1878.

MacDonald was a Scottish neo-classical sculptor who spent most of his career in Rome. He specialised in portraits in the classical style. The sitter for this bust could have been Lydia Dashwood.
