Three months since Willard Wigan: Tiny World opened, and we're still seeing the same reaction: people lean into the microscope... and fall completely silent.

Thank you to everyone who has visited and shared in the wonder of these extraordinary miniature creations.

Missed it so far? There's still plenty of time to experience it for yourself. The exhibition runs until next summer. 🔍✨

Elizabeth Woodville (c.1437–1492) was one of the most remarkable women of fifteenth-century England. Born into the relatively modest Woodville family, she was widowed during the Wars of the Roses before secretly marrying Edward IV in 1464.......

A survivor from Broadway's street-lighting story?
This traditional cast-iron lamp standard on Broadway High Street reminds us of a period when the village streets were illuminated by gas.
Broadway had its own Gas Company by at least 1899, and we found, in Historic England records, a fascinating history of technological change: the village switched from gas street lighting to electricity in 1929, before gas lighting was reinstated in 1933. Remarkably, gas lamps were still lighting parts of Broadway as late as around 1966.

Many of these still remain across England, and we are very fortunate to have one right on our doorstep. Speed and directional signs have been added through the years, but the lamp itself is in really good condition.

How many times have you walked past it without looking up at it?

🍂 Autumn in the Cotswolds

There's no better time to visit Broadway. The crowds thin, the light turns golden, and the honey-coloured stone glows against a backdrop of copper and amber trees. Crisp mornings, misty fields, and that lovely smell of woodsmoke drifting through the village.

Wrap up warm, wander the High Street, kick through a few leaves then step inside and warm up with us. Explore the galleries, discover Broadway's history, and see Willard Wigan's astonishing micro-sculptures in the Tiny World exhibition.

Autumn walks and warm museums: a perfect pairing. 🧣

🎨 The Broadway Colony: Frank Millet

In the late 1880s, Broadway became home to a remarkable group of artists, writers, and creatives, predominantly Americans known as the Broadway Colony. At its heart was Frank Millet, an American painter and war correspondent who first visited the village in 1884 and made Russell House the colony's social and creative centre.

Millet's home became a magnet for extraordinary company, including his close friend John Singer Sargent, along with writer Henry James and painter Edwin Austin Abbey.

But Millet's story has a tragic ending. In April 1912, he was a first-class passenger aboard the RMS Titanic, sailing home to America on business. As the ship sank, he was last seen helping women and children into lifeboats even giving up his own life jacket. He didn't survive.

On display, we have a copy of a letter sent from the Titanic the original of which is held at The Hive in Worcester a rare and poignant artefact connecting Broadway directly to one of history's most famous tragedies.

Come and discover more about Frank Millet and the Broadway Colony at Broadway Museum & Art Gallery.
