St Barbe Museum & Art Gallery
St Barbe Museum & Art Gallery

St Barbe Museum + Art Gallery is a local museum and art gallery in Lymington, Hampshire, England.Enclosed in the building is a small cafe called 'The Old School Cafe', a gift shop, multi-use room named 'The Mac Carthy Room', a museum showcasing artefacts and historical information about the Lymington and the New Forest, and a medium-sized gallery, used for art and historical exhibitions. St Barbe is situated within the New Forest, Lymington. The New Forest has a very varied coastal and forest landscape with approximately 22 villages, all with its own unique character and culture. The area is classified as significantly rural, with pockets of deprivation and social isolation due to lack of transport and inadequate access to services. In the summer of 2017 the museum and gallery reopened its doors after a multi-million pound refurbishment, securing the future of the building for future generations. The size of the gallery was increased to hold much larger exhibitions and hold pieces from galleries such as the Tate. A new cafe opened at the front of the foyer, serving hot and cold drinks, cakes, sandwiches and meals. The gift shop is located just behind this, with items sourced from the local area, and parking clocks that can be used around the local area. For a small fee that goes towards maintaining St Barbe, you can access the gallery and museum, with previous exhibitions such as 'Erie', 'Dinosaurs on your Doorstep' and 'Contemporary Cuts'. St Barbe Museum + Art Gallery is an independent charity. The Museum has been fully accredited since 2013 and has been developing unique exhibitions of historic and contemporary art since 1998. The programme has included works on loan from national, regional and private collections. The museum regularly create opportunities for visitors to see significant artworks from Tate, the British Museum and the V&A. Many exhibitions have had a national profile including Shorelines: Artists on the South Coast (2015) and Dazzle: Disruption and Disguise in War and Art (2018). The latter, part-funded by ACE, achieved primetime TV coverage and editorial. They are increasingly using their exhibitions to engage with specific audiences and deliver a programme for adults and older people which include: ‘Workshops and talks’, ‘Tea and Memories’ a chance for older residents to look at historic images, photographs and objects to share their memories and ‘Knit and Natter’ a social knitting group which often creates work associated with the exhibitions. Family and Young People activities are delivered throughout the year (weekends and school holidays) which tie in with exhibition themes. They work in partnership with heritage, arts and local community providers such as Hampshire Cultural Trust, FOLIO, Artswork, SPUD, New Forest National Park Authority, Lymington Community Association, Hampshire Art for Recreation and Therapy and the New Forest Heritage Centre, allowing them to draw on expertise, resources and networks.
