Welcome
Welcome to The Friends of Bristol Art Gallery, the support group for Bristol Museum & Art Gallery (BMAG), which houses the largest art gallery in the south west with collections of fine, applied and eastern arts. The Friends also support the purchase and conservation of works of art for Bristol’s new museum, M Shed.
Friends’ subscriptions play a crucial role in helping the galleries acquire works of all types and periods. (Sir Terry Frost’s Orchard Tambourines above, was purchased by The Friends for the Art Gallery in 2000). In return, Friends enjoy lectures, excursions, exhibitions and a wide range of social events. We hope you will want to join us.
