The Swindon Museum & Art Gallery, Apsley House, Swindon, Wiltshire


Art Gallery     and    Museum


Apsley House is located in Bath Road in the Old Town area of Swindon and is the home of the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery (SMAG).  The Museum may not be big by London standards but it is a little gem - it even has a mummy to both enthrall and scare children.  We gather that much of their material is in storage through lack of space and therefore exhibitions change regularly in order to show more of what they have.

See their own website at:  SMAG  for more details and information about their opening times should you plan a visit.  And don't forget it's free!

Some of our photographs below are rather duplicated as they were taken years apart, but we included them because they show changes to the building.  And we make no apologies for taking so many of the outside of the building - it is very attractive!

The building is Grade II listed - for details of the listing see the  Historic England  website.
