The Swindon Museum and Art Gallery are housed together in a building in the Old Town area of Swindon.

The remarkable art collection now has a reputation as one of the best of British 20th Century Art outside London. It was established by local benefactor, H J P Bomford, during 1944 from a generous donation of works.

The museum has displays of local history, archaeology and geology. They tell the story of Swindon’s Jurassic past, its connections with the Roman Empire and the more recent social history of this thriving town.
