Today's #OnlineArtExchange theme is red! We also thought after last night's Fake or Fortune we should give some love to Benjamin West so here is one of his versions of 'The Death of Wolfe' depicting the death of Major General James Wolfe from our neighbours @FusilierMuseum

Today's #DrawingFromTheCollection is this beautiful pastel drawing of the heroic #WW2 rescue dog Irma!

Irma was paired with a dog called Psyche, the two of them went of the chalk up 233 rescues!

'Irma' by Georgina Shaw Baker (1860–1951)

Next up of our #TakeYourDogToWorkDay WW2 search and rescue dogs is Irma!

Irma was also awarded the Dickin medal like Jet. She had a special bark when she found people alive and once worked for two days until two girls were found.

We're back open today until Saturday, 12-4pm!

If you're popping by, how about taking a closer look at #portraits in profile in some our collections paintings? The side view of a person can be quite bold and striking, here is a selection from the gallery walls. Can you find them?

Abstract and non-figurative artwork is the theme for today's @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange

We've chosen John Armstrong's 'Abstract' from the @HarrisPreston - a painting, tempera on board, looks almost like a collage and the colours, shapes and textures remind us of the sea...

We're looking at a few #monochrome artworks from the collection as we end #colour month.

Take a look at Rammy-born Harry Dewhurst's woodcut print, Lily House at @kewgardens - it looks pretty detailed! Wood engraving is a relief form of #printmaking a tricky process to master.
