Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft
Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, Independent art and craft museum in Ditchling, England.
The museum displays extensive collections of local artworks, typography designs, and handmade crafts within restored 18th-century buildings in the South Downs National Park.
Sisters Hilary and Joanna Bourne established the museum in 1985, leading to a major renovation in 2012 through a £2.3 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The permanent collection includes works by Edward Johnston, creator of the London Underground typeface, and Eric Gill, who contributed to Ditchling's artistic development.
Located ten minutes from the A23, the museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The museum shop in the Cart Lodge offers free entry and sells handcrafted items, with proceeds supporting both the institution and regional creative enterprises.
