The Fleming Collection is the finest collection of Scottish art outside public institutions, comprising over 600 works, with a particularly strong 20th Century collection. It dates back to 1968 when investment bank Robert Fleming & Co, which had been founded in 1873, began to acquire Scottish art to hang in its offices worldwide. Following the sale of the bank in 2000, the Collection was vested, under the guidance of the family, in the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation. It previously had a gallery in Berkeley Square in London, but since 2015 has run as a ‘Museum without Walls’ developing a programme of touring exhibitions, as well loans of individual works to support both long-term displays and temporary exhibitions in public institutions.
