Tara Munroe reveals what she learned when she rescued some badly damaged paintings which were due to be thrown out.
Tara is an arts curator and researcher. Ten years ago she found a pile of paintings marked with the words 'for disposal'. She was immediately intrigued, and as she began to research them, she became more and more drawn into their story, and how it connected with her own history. Now, a decade on, she is hoping to return them to the gallery walls, where they belong.
Producer: Patrick Cowling.
