Interesting history of the art's and crafts movement, different exhibition's as well
This museum was a truly lovely find. We went to Chipping Campden for a short walking and nature break before the winter started, and decided to go into this museum in between some walks, towards the end of the day. We were offered concessions, because we looked young enough to be students (!), which was quite flattering (though sadly not applicable). The 5 fee was worth it. It has a lovely installation explaining the roots of the Chipping Camden Arts and Crafts Movement (which we previously had no knowledge of), with many examples of stunning craftwork (including woodwork, metalwork, glass and bookbinding) and interactive video displays, which you can either watch standing up or view sitting down at the tables. The whole museum is contained in a beautiful, listed, barn, and remarkabky uses a freestanding wooden structure inside which required no nailing into the walls, commissioned from local crafters. The Covid-secure guidelines were more than adequate. We also received personalised attention and lots of extra history from the museum curator, who clearly loves her work and was willing to engage even stragglers like us. There is also a shop that sells artisanal wares made by locals, with many great pieces sold that support local craftsmanship and art. Really worth a visit and though it looks small, plan for sufficient time to properly enjoy it!
