The Wilson – a place where everyone is welcome

Help us secure your Museum’s future for generations to come
As an independent charity we rely on donations to allow us to survive, flourish, and to create inspiring and welcoming spaces that meet the needs of the people of Cheltenham – a Museum that Cheltenham can feel proud of.
At the Wilson we bring thousands of different people together to enjoy art and culture and to inspire new ways of learning.
Your generosity will enable us to support the Wilson as a free Museum and Art Gallery for everyone to engage with and learn from our treasured collections, exhibitions and stories.
So to continue to be able to open our doors for generations to come we need your support.
Be inspired by the likes of the Baron de Ferrieres who kicked off the art Gallery side of The Wilson with a donation of 43 Dutch and Flemish Masters from the 17th century and £1000 in 1898; and Dr Edward Thomas Wilson who petitioned and helped open the Museum aspect of the gallery in 1907.
In the words of Dr Edward Thomas Wilson the museum “must have in it the inherent power of expansion and development” and a donation from you can make that possible.
Thank you!
Donations enable us to grow, encourage exploration and inspire curiosity.
