An exceptional collection of watercolours will go on display from today to the public at one of Britain's leading boarding schools. It's not often that the average school boy can drop in to see a Turner or a Cotman inside the school gates but Harrow School has been lucky to have over 200 exceptional quality works by figures from the golden age of English watercolours.
