Extended in 1989, Cheltenham’s museum and art gallery houses an impressive permanent collection of ceramics, jewellery, fine art, furniture and local history exhibits as well as an Arts and Crafts Collection, which includes leatherwork, plasterwork, jewellery, metalwork, furniture, pottery, silver, textiles, embroidery, press books and archives. The Arts and Crafts movement began in 1880 and ended in the 1940s, but its continuing influence is demonstrated in contemporary work by artists, such as Alan Peters and Wales and Wales, which are also on display.
