Fine and decorative art collection

The Museum Service has a small collection of fine and decorative art objects. This collection includes around 6,000 paintings, prints and engravings. These include local topographical scenes, portraits of local personalities and works by artists with local connections such as Caldecott, Furber, Rainer, Thompson and Zeigler. Our ceramics collection consists of pottery and porcelain mainly of eighteenth and nineteenth century date including examples of Caughley, Derby, Spode, Wedgwood and Worcester.

Some of the items in our Fine and Decorative Art collection can be seen on display at Ludlow Museum, Much Wenlock Museum, Shrewsbury Museum and Whitchurch Heritage Centre. Prints of some of our Ludlow paintings are available for sale from the Friends of Ludlow Museum at the Museum giftshop.
