What we do

We offer a host of ways for locals and visitors alike to experience and participate in great arts, culture and heritage.

Temporary exhibitions in our art galleries showcase major names in the art world alongside local talent, 

while permanent displays in our museums tell the story of Hampshire’s history.

From a sparkling music, comedy and theatre offer to events, classes and workshops for all ages and tastes, our programme is varied and eclectic.

We are custodians of over 
2.5 million objects, from working steam engines to fragile ancient artefacts 
that reflect Hampshire’s 
unique heritage.

National recognition

We harness our operational expertise through our role as both advisors and partners to others in our sector and beyond.

In 2023, we were awarded National Portfolio Organisation status by Arts Council England, funded to work in three of their priority places in Hampshire, which sees us playing a key part in sector support across the county.

You can find out more about our work in our annual reviews and impact reports.
