Exhibition: Dennis H Osborne Artist – An Appreciation *Extended*

The Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum’s new exhibition: Dennis H Osborne (1919-2016) Artist: An Appreciation features the museum’s collection of original Dennis H Osborne oil paintings and sketches.

Dennis H Osborne was born in Portsmouth, England, moving to Lisburn in 1964 to take up the post of Head of Art at Lisnagarvey High School.  He produced a number of iconic views of old Lisburn, including Castle Street, Stannus Place, Piper’s Hill, Quay Street, as well as a self portrait, and sketch of Alderman Samuel Semple.

He died in May 2016.

*Originally opened in January 2017, the exhibition expanded from 7 paintings to over 30 in March and April 2017.  From May 2017 onwards, and due to popular demand, the museum’s own collection of Osborne paintings will continue to be displayed.*
