Guest Matt F Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hi all, I need a generous favour from a stranger for my dear old Mum who is searching out our ancestors. She is tracking our family tree and has found some decedents who emigrated to Tasmania. She would like a photo of a portrait of Katherine Chapman (nee Swan) by Conway Hart that is hanging in the Art Gallery of the Tasmanian Museum at Hobart. We have contacted the museum, however they are unable to take the picture themselves. If I could give her this picture for a Christmas present it would mean so much to her and help her close a long term project.

The reason I am asking is that the museum and art gallery are being redevelopped and I understood that the paintings have been put into storage while construction work is being done in the art gallery wing.

Vivien Hobart They didn't give a reason, however the short reply we got may be explained of they are busy renovating! Hoping the painting doesn't get filed away now...
