Beaverbrook Art Gallery Description
Opposite the Legislative Building, at the north end of "The Green" by St John River, stands the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, opened in 1959.

The gallery is named after Lord Beaverbrook (1879-1964), who was raised in Newcastle, New Brunswick, settled in England in 1910 and built up a giant newspaper empire there. During the Second World War he was a very influential member of Sir Winston Churchill's cabinet. Lord Beaverbrook first came to the fore as a great patron of the cultural life of New Brunswick. His collection of paintings forms the basis of the gallery's exhibits. He also financed the local playhouse and several of the buildings of New Brunswick University.
