JP Beadle’s Gheluvelt painting, created in 1920 to commemorate the Battle of Gheluvelt, is the first major artwork to be moved to a new location as the Worcestershire Soldier Gallery counts down to its closure on 31 August 2025.
The current exhibition at Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum will close on 31 August, open Tuesday – Saturday 10am – 4pm, Sunday 10am – 3pm.
The Worcestershire Soldier at the Commandery will see the creation of a brand-new exhibition of Worcester’s regimental displays.
This exhibition will secure the future of the gallery as well as bring the Worcestershire Soldier’s story into the heart of Worcester’s heritage quarter.
In doing so this provides an opportunity to redevelop the current displays, which have been in place for over twenty years.
It is anticipated that the new galleries will open in early 2028.
