We were in Tunbridge Wells on a coach trip. Our driver recommended a visit to the Art Gallery & Museum. Up the stairs and into the entrance it didn't appear to be very promising, but as the old song goes 'You Can't Judge a Book By Looking at Its Cover'. One of the largest collections of Tunbridge ware with an indepth history of its evolution. Walking around we found a room giving a short history of Thomas Pratt the 1st Earl of Camden, complete with portraits by Thomas Gainsborough & Sir Joshua Reynolds on long term lone from the family with a stipulation that they must be on display. Even got into a discussion with one of the curators about regional accents . For a small municipal museum this is outstanding. If you are in the area and in any way interested in local history this museum is a must see.
