After major refurbishment thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund
this museum has reopened. In an extravagant version of an Italianate
seaside villa the collection comprises a spectacular collection of Victorian and
Edwardian paintings along with sculpture, decorative art and furniture.
Currently there is a special exhibition entitled ‘20th Century Faces – Hidden
Gems’ comprising portraits from the gallery collection. After lunch go to
Wimborne Minster and visit this magnificent church, more like a mini-cathedral,
which is given four stars by Simon Jenkins. It is filled with treasures
including the superb Jacobean monument to Sir Edmund Uvedale dating from
1606.
