New museum For Cotswolds

A new museum will open in the Cotswold village of Broadway.  Situated in a 17th-century house - The Tudor House - renovated in a year-long project, the Ashmolean Museum Broadway will display a selection of objects and works of art from Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum. It will be operated as an independent museum open to the public six days a week.

 Tudor House was built in 1659–60 as a coaching inn.  Over the centuries, the building has been adapted and extended and has functioned at various times as a school, private residence, and most recently as an antiques shop.

The top-floor of the building will be devoted to temporary exhibitions drawn from the Ashmolean’s collections and for the use of local groups and contemporary artists.  The first exhibition will open in May with work from the Ashmolean collection by John Singer

Sargent, as part of the Broadway Arts Festival.
