The Arts
The Linder family has a long history of supporting and championing the arts. Leslie Linder’s decoding of Beatrix Potter’s secret diary, and his subsequent bequests of her artwork to the Victoria & Albert Museum, made a significant contribution to the preservation of her extraordinary work, allowing the public to enjoy and admire it for decades.
This legacy continues in the Foundation’s commitment to sponsoring projects which uphold and embody the importance of the arts.
