This exhibition features artworks and objects from the Fred and Lucy Gould Art Collection. The Gould Collection has been one of Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery’s permanent collections since 1950. Fred and Lucy Gould were a local couple who married in Toowoomba in 1905. They were avid collectors of fine and decorative art.
Shortly after their marriage, the Goulds moved to Toowong. They named their house Camelot, after the castle and court of the legendary King Arthur of Britain, demonstrating their fascination with British history and folklore.
The exhibition highlights works from the Victorian era that reveal an interest in medieval as well as Elizabethan subjects. It opens windows onto real and imagined pasts.
You will find it peopled with real historical figures, fictional characters and archetypes that remain alive through centuries of storytelling – monks, poets, sorcerers, queens, kings and knights.
Exhibition on display 9 October – 4 May 2025.
