Saturday, November 11, 2023 

to Sunday, January 28, 2024

In the build up to the opening of the new museum this exhibition will explore all the different Wessex artists represented in the museum’s collection.

Our collection includes over 5,000 paintings, prints and drawings. This careful selection will look at artists connected with the Wessex area from 18th century to the present day, ranging from the oil paintings of George Beare to the wood engravings of Howard Phipps. It will include well known pieces as well as hidden treasures and new acquisitions not seen by the public before.
