Athelstan Museum is situated in the heart of the ancient town of Malmesbury. This hill-top site has been occupied since at least the Iron Age period, and the museum displays a large range of items spanning the period from that time up to the present day. Full details on the Museum Website.
ATHELSTAN MUSEUM
John Bowen Gallery Exhibition - The Outsiders
The Outsiders are a group of artists and friends who enjoy the challenge of painting outside (en plen air). We have been together for more than ten years. We meet at different locations usually in Wiltshire on Tuesday evenings from early Spring to late Autumn. Each artist has a different style and uses different media, this is reflected in the variety of work in the exhibition
We, The Outsiders hope you enjoy the exhibition as much as we have enjoyed creating the paintings on display.
