In the centre of the exhibition "Modern ports and historic Turner: a journey in time" — two paintings, a hundred years have never left the walls of the gallery. In addition to these, from London arrived an unfinished canvas with the image of the harbour at Brest. Recent studies have shown that these three works were conceived as a single series.
In addition to this trio in the halls of the Museum presents 35 works in oils and watercolors depicting cities of England, France and Germany in the early nineteenth century, as well as imaginary harbours of the ancient world.
