Cuthbert was described at the time as "A leader of the artistic, literary and scientific life of the town."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Grundy Art Gallery ) 〕 Designed by Cullen, Lockhead and Brown, the gallery has coupled Ionic columns supporting a stone pediment bearing a carved Blackpool Borough crest.〔 Together with Central library the gallery opened on 26 October 1911.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grundy Art Gallery )〕 In 1912, a purchase fund for new artworks was set up to build upon the 33 artworks. By the late 1930s, the collection and general ambition of the gallery had outgrown the original building, and so an extension of two extra galleries was built. It opened in 1938.〔 The Grundy now contains nearly 2,000 objects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bequests and Donations )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grundy Art Gallery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
