16 February 2000
The Prime Minister has appointed Lady Irvine of Lairg as a Trustee of the Wallace Collection for a term of five years.
Biographical Notes
Lady Irvine has an MA in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute and a broad-based background in the visual arts. Also, as a former social worker, she has worked with disturbed teenagers using art as a medium for learning. Part of her remit on the Wallace’s Board will be to bring this experience to bear in guiding the Collection’s educational work with the young and disadvantaged, as it seeks to expand on its work on social exclusion. Lady Irvine is married to Lord Irvine of Lairg, the Lord Chancellor.
Notes for Editors
The Wallace Collection is the custodian of Sir Richard Wallace’s collection of paintings, furniture, ceramics, arms and armour and other works of art bequeathed to the nation in 1897. Trustees are not remunerated.
