Rugby Art Gallery and Museum, Art museum and local history center in Rugby, England
The Rugby Art Gallery and Museum occupies a modern building in the town center and shares the space with the local library and visitor information center. It contains three gallery spaces displaying rotating exhibitions of contemporary art, archaeological finds, and works from the permanent collection.
The institution opened in 2000 on the site of the former library, becoming the main cultural venue for the town. It was established to preserve and present the town's heritage and art collections to the public.
The gallery displays works by prominent British artists from the 20th century, offering visitors insight into the region's artistic heritage. The exhibitions allow people to see connections between the town's past and broader art movements of the era.
Admission is free and the venue is easily accessible from the town center. It helps to allow time to walk through all three gallery areas and check what exhibitions are currently on display.
The museum holds the Tripontium Collection with Roman artifacts from an ancient settlement, offering insight into life during the Roman occupation. These archaeological pieces are displayed alongside the modern artworks, bridging two very different historical periods.
