The Gordon Russell Design Museum in Worcestershire explores elements of 20th-century design from Arts and Crafts to post-modernism.

Nestled in the Cotswolds village of Broadway, the Gordon Russell Design Museum honours the legacy of 20th-century furniture designer Sir Gordon Russell and his eponymous company. Founded on the principles of high-quality design accessible to all, his company produced innovative pieces that evolved alongside design movements, transitioning from the Arts and Crafts style to modernism.

Gordon Russell Ltd

The original workshops his company operated in for over 60 years are now Grade II listed. Today they house a museum dedicated to Reussell’s achievements as a furniture designer, maker, calligrapher, entrepreneur, educator and advocate of good design as something that can have a positive impact on people’s lives.

Furniture displays

The permanent displays span a rich period of 20th-century design, and are accompanied by a changing programme of exhibitions and events. Discover sleek and functional pieces like the Cirencester Chest or Murphy radio receiver. Visitors can also find work by contemporary designer-makers in the museum shop.

Inspiring events

The museum hosts regular events that celebrate the world of design, innovation, and the rich heritage of Gordon Russell. From design workshops and awards to guest lectures to social events which offer unique opportunities to engage with the world of design and connect with fellow design enthusiasts.
