Art UK

Art UK is the online home for all public art collections in the United Kingdom (previously known as the Public Catalogue Foundation). Working in partnership with 3,000 public collections and other organisations including the BBC, it is a charity displaying over 200,000 oil paintings and planning to expand the project to include watercolours, pastels, drawings, prints and sculptures. Keepthinking was chosen to design and build the website. Winner of the GLAMi Silver Award at Museums and the Web 2016
