The Kew Bridge Steam Musuem on Brentford High Street will host an exhibition of resident artist and creators.

Titled "The Eye of the Beholder", the interior of the museum will be transformed with ironwork, ceramiccs, textiles, jewellery, miniatures and painting, with a preview reception being held on Thursday, November 19.

A Spokeswoman for the museum said: "An overture performed by resident percussionist Dave Price promises to be a highlight of the preview and many of the artists are opening their studios to view on that evening only.
"All are welcome."

Each of the 12 professional artists and makers involved has a studio or workshop within the museum complex and their work will be displayed on the Museum's mezzanine gallery and Main steam hall.

The Steam Museum is a landmark site built in the 19th century to supply London with water and is recognised as the most important historic site of the water supply industry in Britain.

The display in the museum will continue until 29th November and free access to the Museum exhibition (until 22nd) can be obtained with a pass obtained on site from Robert Dawson (07812164395) or Shelley Thomas (07947032286).

There is a free car park and disabled access.
