Petersfield Museum has recently completed a £4 million redevelopment project and strategic transformation, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, creating a cultural hub for East Hampshire and a regional gateway for the South Downs National Park. A rare example of a restored Victorian Justice Heritage site, its permanent collections include social history archives and artefacts relating to Petersfield and the surrounding area, the Flora Twort Collection of art, the Don Eades Photographic Collection and the Bedales Historic Costume Collection. It also hosts the Tim Wilton-Steer Collection of works by and about the poet Edward Thomas. The development has created new galleries, including The Flora Twort Gallery (specifically designed for high quality temporary exhibitions) and The Edward Thomas Study Centre. Established in 1999, Petersfield Museum is an accredited, independent museum and registered charity.
