New Acquisitions

In addition to the three main exhibitions in the main gallery at Swindon Museum and Art Gallery, there's an interesting corner where new acquisitions are displayed until this Saturday 14 April. It's well worth making a trip there before the change over of exhibitions to see them.
If you are able to come along to the museum on Friday 13th April, there will be a FREE lunchtime talk from 12.30-1.00pm given by Curator Sophie Cummings on the new acquisitions.
