Just over 1% of the 2,658 artworks owned by Harrogate Borough Council are on public display.
In a statement, a spokesperson said: "Harrogate Borough Council's collection of artworks includes thousands of different items.
"We are very fortunate to have inherited items from people or organisations who have kindly donated to us, so that residents and visitors have the opportunity to see a vast array of art from different periods and movements. "Due to the nature of our museum venues in Harrogate, and understandably, there is finite capacity to exhibit these valuable pieces and we also want to ensure that when someone visits an exhibition they are encapsulated by the theme or narrative."The authority's collection includes works by abstract artist John Hoyland, along with much older works, including a portrait of Sir Francis Slingsby from the 1590s.
