Galleries
Main Art Gallery
The main art gallery showcases work from Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum’s art collection, which was established in 1928 and includes paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, photography, digital and decorative art, mainly by British artists with a focus on those based in Warwickshire and some work by international artists.
The gallery is located in the original swimming pool hall and one of the changing room alcoves is now used for our ‘Spotlight’ displays.
Museum
The ground-floor museum displays tell the story of Leamington’s development from a small village known as Leamington Priors to a thriving inland spa resort. Find out about the people who worked at the Royal Pump Rooms and the different treatments that were offered here.
The Mezzanine-level displays explore Leamington’s rich sporting heritage; from the role the town played in the development of lawn tennis, to the life of World Middleweight Boxing Champion, Randolph Turpin, the ‘Leamington Licker’.
The museum is located in the original Turkish bath suite. Be sure to look up to admire the architecture and take a seat in the stunning hammam.
