Plucky Narberth Museum Makes Final Of Art Fund Prize

Narberth Museum has been named as one of 10 finalist museums and galleries in the running for to the prestigious £ 100,000 Art Fund prize for Museum Of The Year . Situated in Pembrokeshire , the Welsh market town of Narberth is home to a little over 2000 people and is most famous perhaps for being at the epicentre of the 19th century Rebecca Riots , when angry farmers dressed as women to pull down tollgates and storm workhouses . Having re-opened in July last year after 10 years of closure , the humble community museum is competing against some of the country ’ s most established institutions including Kelvingrove Art gallery And Museum in Glasgow and England ’ s first public art gallery , Dulwich Picture Gallery . The prize looks at the best curatorial and programming in British museums with a focus on events that took place in 2012 , This year it ’ s being judged by the likes of writer and broadcaster Bettany Hughes and artists Bob and Roberta Smith . The winner will be announced on Tues 4 June .
