Things to do in Sherborne, England: The Best Museums

Britain's only gallery devoted to Mountaineering and Landscape Photography with almost a thousand square feet of hanging area. There are always two or three themed exhibitions featuring the mountains, landscapes and peoples of all seven continents. These change every four months. The Gallery is open 7 days a week and admission is free of charge. The emphasis and ethos of the gallery is on viewing rather than selling but 10% of all sales goes directly to Third World Projects.

The Jerram Gallery is located in the beautiful market town of Sherborne, close to the historic Abbey. Exhibiting contemporary pictures, sculpture and original prints, exhibitions are held throughout the year. We represent artists situated throughout the UK, thus providing a diverse selection of subjects and styles.

This fascinating small museum reflects the social and historical life of Sherborne, a market town in the heart of the Dorset countryside. Attractions include a unique medieval wall-painting, a touch-screen version of the glorious Sherborne Missal, botanical watercolours by pioneering Edwardian artist Diana Wilson, a vast photographic archive, a famous dolls' house, silk displays and much more. Ground floor wheelchair access.

We are a family business which has been dealing in good traditional Victorian, Edwardian & Early 20th Century watercolours, drawings and oil paintings, antique maps and prints for over 30 years. Our large gallery lies in the centre of the historic market town of Sherborne. All our paintings are carefully selected as good or outstanding examples of artists’ oeuvres. Subjects include marine, landscape, sporting, portraits, still life and genre. Quality, condition and presentation are very important to us and our team of conservationists and framers all have over 25 years experience. Watercolours are presented in conservation mounts with hand painted washlines and framed appropriately for the period. We hold bi-annual exhibitions of newly acquired paintings, for which we send out free colour catalogues and email alerts to our many collectors all over the world.
