Art in UK public collections is owned by all of us, but do you sometimes look at art and think 'what is that?' Well, we're here to help!
Your Art, Unlocked is a new podcast series about unexpected objects in museum collections.
The second series features artworks from the Hunterian, University of Warwick Art Collection, the Glynn Vivian, Pallant House, Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery, and Ulster Museum.

In this episode of Your Art, Unlocked, writer and broadcaster Damian Barr visits the Hunterian in Glasgow to unlock a very large and very naked painting by Scottish painter John Duncan Fergusson.
Join Damian as he gets to grips with Fergusson's six dancing figures and listen to Anne Dulau, Art Curator at the Hunterian, tell us about the influence of Paris on this famous Scottish Colourist.
But more importantly, find out how many bums you can fit in one picture!
This is your art in your museums and galleries, so let's get to know it a little better.
Your Art, Unlocked is produced by Art UK and supported by Bloomberg Connects. Listen and follow each week wherever you get your podcasts.
