Bangor University

Located in North Wales this University was founded in 1884 as the University College of North Wale. Art has been gathered since its early days from a variety of sources but the collection owes it existence to many donations and bequests. Arguably the single most important bequest was made former College Treasurer, the Welsh novelist, dramatist and poet Thomas Rowland Hughes in 1949. Paintings from his personal collection and a Trust established by him are the core of this eclectic group of works numbering in excess of 300 items. Artists represented include John Aldridge, W.J.C.C. Bond, Robert Hunter, Will Roberts, Frances Hodgkins and Ethelbert White.
