Somerset is a county of many things; we’ve written before of it’s stunning walks and fun activities, but not much of its appeal to those with a passion for art. Here at Lakeview Holiday Cottages in Somerset, we’ve become aware of the number of impressive galleries and exhibitions in Somerset that offer unique sights and experiences. Here are a few of our top recommendations for appreciators of art on a Somerset holiday.
Hauser & Wirth
This world class, multi-purpose gallery and arts centre has a strong focus on the contemporary and offers a wide variety of events such as workshops and seminars for visitors to take part in and enjoy. Hauser & Wirth is open with free admission for the public so anyone can appreciate the architecture and garden of the site itself. With an on-site restaurant and new contemporary exhibitions, Hauser & Wirth is an excellent place to spend a day of your holiday in Somerset.
Victoria Art Gallery
If you fancy taking a trip to Bath, visit the Victoria Art Gallery, a public art museum that houses over 1500 paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. Whether it’s present day works or displays from the 17th century you’re after, you’ll find something incredible to experience here.
Black Swan Arts
This vibrant gallery is located at the heart of Frome, a creative market town in Somerset. It may not be as large as Hauser & Wirth or the Victoria Art Gallery, but Black Swan Arts holds many impressive and prestigious exhibitions such as the Black Swan Arts Open, a competition that’s returning in November 2017.
