10. The Broadway Museum and Art Gallery

The Broadway Museum and Art Gallery has worked in close partnership with Worcestershire County Council, other local organisations, and the Keil family, to transform historic Tudor House in the Cotswold village of Broadway, Worcestershire, into an independent museum: The Broadway Museum and Art Gallery Broadway.

The museum is based at Tudor House on the main high street. After opening in September 2013, it has become a hub for the community serving those who wish to learn more about local history. Broadway is one of the best loved and most popular villages in the Cotswolds and Tudor House is one of its most prominent buildings. Originally built in the seventeenth century as a coaching inn, it has been extended and adapted over the centuries and served at various periods as part of a school, a farm, and a private residence for various owners, including Benjamin Chandler who refurbished the property with the Arts and Crafts architect, CE Mallows, in 1908. For nearly 80 years, it was the headquarters for H.W. Keil Ltd, one of the leading dealers in antique furniture in the world.

The objects on display are on loan from The Broadway Museum and Art Gallery.

The displays are of fine and decorative art from the 17th to the 19th centuries over three floors. There are paintings by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Millais and Landseer.
