We are delighted to announce that the Watts Gallery is recognised under the Arts Council's UK Museum Accreditation Scheme. We have been accredited for excelling in the fundamental requirements of a museum, such as the management of our collection, our engagement with visitors and our governance. Our thanks go to everyone who has made this possible...
Watts Gallery is a unique Arts Crafts gem in the Surrey Hills, consisting of Galleries, Chapel, Shop, Café, Play wood and gardens...
Watts Gallery opened its doors in 1904, as the only gallery in the UK devoted to a single artist. George Frederic Watts, often hailed as 'England's Michelangelo' for his powerful works and portraits. But our story is equally defined by his remarkable wife, Mary Watts. A visionary designer and artist herself, Mary founded The Potters' Arts Guild at Compton, a progressive enterprise that brought together local craftspeople to create beautiful terracotta art.
