Percy Thomas Brooke Sewell

The Brooke Sewell Circle is named after Percy Thomas Brooke Sewell who created two separate funds, one by gift and one by will, which gave generations of curators the means to enhance the Museum’s Collection.

Percy Thomas Brooke Sewell (1878–1958) was a Norwegian merchant banker who admired the arts of India and the Far East and wanted them to be better represented in the galleries of the Museum.
