The Artist Colony display curated by Karen Bloch in partnership with the Broadway Arts Festival, explores the beautiful artworks which were painted in Broadway, and the artists who were inspired by the beauty of the village and its surrounding countryside.

The museum is located within Tudor House, which was built in the 17th century as a coaching inn to serve the Ludlow to London route. The building has been extended and adapted over the years but retains original features and architectural flourishes reflecting trends of the passing eras. The house has been both a farmstead and a private residence and was for 80 years, the headquarters for H.W Keil Ltd, one of the leading dealers in antique furniture in the world.

Broadway Museum and Art Gallery opened in 2013 thanks, in large part to John Keil and the family, owners of the building, practical support from the Ashmolean in Oxford, and a one off grant from Worcestershire County Council to transform this fascinating historic building in this beautiful Cotswold into an independent museum.

The museum shop, which you do not need to pay to enter, is also a great place to browse for gifts as well as being a good source of books on art and local history. In the courtyard entrance area there is also a second-hand bookshop – all proceeds from sales go back into improving the museum.
