More about

The Amelia brings together key community facilities including the Museum, Art Gallery, Library and Registration, Adult Education Centre, Tourist Information and Council Customer Services. The collection was founded by the Tunbridge Wells Natural History and Philosophical Society in 1885. Oil paintings were primarily acquired after 1952 when the Ashton Bequest of thirty-one Victorian oil paintings was received. A number of works by contemporary artists have been acquired and commissioned since the 1960s.
