The Wedgwood Collection – one of the most important industrial archives in the world and a unique record of 250 years of British art – has been saved for future generations. The Art Fund raised £15.75m in total, including £2.74m through a public appeal that reached its target within a month of launching. Donations were matched pound-for-pound by a private charitable trust.
Thank you to everyone who donated to and supported the appeal!
