Celebrating the rich artistic history of this part of North Wiltshire, we have been able to acquire a number of exciting additions to our Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.

On display in our current exhibition, 'What's in Store', are several generous gifts to the collection of works by Henry Cliffe. Cliffe played a key role in establishing the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham as a centre renowned for its innovative printmaking. On display are 'Figures in a Conservatory', which may depict a scene in Corsham, and 'Black Forms in a Landscape', part of a group of works that offers an insight into Cliffe's working process. In the middle is 'Composition' by Corsham student John Gridley, demonstrating the influence Cliffe had on those he taught.

Discover these fascinating additions to the collection in 'What's in Store', running until 21 November 2026. The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, with free entry.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our free October Half Term activities!

Over the week, visitors created beautiful autumn wreaths decorated with colourful leaves and pumpkins, with plenty of spooky spiders making an appearance as Halloween drew nearer.

We loved seeing everyone's creativity! 🍂🕷️🎃
