It was a pleasure to be able to help make this happen, in partnership with @nationalgallery @iwight @IndependentArts and Newport and Carisbrooke Community Council.

We can finally announce that Constable's 'The Cornfield' will be on display at 64 High Street, Newport, from Tuesday 6th until Sunday 11th June and open to the public to view free of charge, as part of @NationalGallery 2023 Visits programme.
Along with the @iwight Heritage Education Service, The Museum of Island History and @IndependentArts , we have put in place a programme of coordinating events, including school visits, creative workshops, singing sessions and wellbeing gatherings.
The Museum of Island History, located at The Guildhall, is open free with extended hours during this week and has a new display photos from James Dore featuring the history of Rural Island Life, which compliments The Cornfield. iow.gov.uk/news/rural-life-d…
