The Flora Twort Gallery is an art gallery in Petersfield, Hampshire, England, dedicated to the work of Flora Twort.
The gallery is located beside St. Peter's Church, just off the town's market square.
Flora Twort died in 1985 leaving her cottage, studio and examples of her work to Hampshire County Council. It was run as a museum and restaurant by HCC until 2008.
In 2009 the gallery and its collections were transferred to the Petersfield Museum Trust. The gallery displays examples from the Bedales Historic Costume Collection dating from 1720, and pieces of work by the artist Flora Twort. There is also a temporary exhibition space which displays collections from professional artists and community groups.
Famous quotes containing the words flora and/or gallery:
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
