Key Information
As a result of a successful bid for Heritage Lottery Funding for our proposed redevelopment, the Art Gallery & Museum closed on 1 April 2011 - for further details please see our Building for a New Future section.
The exciting and ambitious plans for the new development will provide additional galleries, new open access stores/study facilities and dedicated spaces for lifelong learning, education, outreach services and arts development programmes. There will also be an expanded events/performance space, and a new larger ground floor cafe and shop.
The scheme will also provide a more prominent entrance to the art gallery and museum, and create a new footpath to Cheltenham's oldest building, medieval St. Mary's Church, from Clarence Street through to Chester Walk.
The art gallery and museum closed to the public on 1 April 2011, for the collections to be decanted into storage. Contractors are scheduled to be on site from the end of June 2011 and it is hoped that the new building will open in late 2012/early 2013.
To find out further details of the scheme please see the our Building for a new future section.
