Our club is so pleased to announce the arrival of the William Lamb sculpted bronze bust of Robert Burns to Montrose Museum.
Our museum has worked hard to secure the bust on loan from the Sunderland Museum, where it has been on display since it was commissioned by Sunderland Burns club back in the 1930’s.
There will be informative speeches by Emma Gilliland - Lead Collections officer for the Museum and ANGUSalive; Norman Atkinson O.B.E. Chair of Friends of William Lamb, and by KIrsten Tomlinson President of Montrose Burns club.
If anyone wishes to come along to this “launch event”, 2pm Friday 3rd April at Montrose Museum, please RSVP to Susan Curran on the email address provided on the poster, indicating your name(s) and number coming.

This is an exciting Burns-related addition to our museum collection and also the home-coming of yet another important original work by William Lamb.
