Our Chelmsford Gallery
The Our Chelmsford gallery at the Museum of Chelmsford is a vibrant space dedicated to celebrating the city’s creatives and communities. With regularly changing displays, it aims to showcase the depth and diversity of what’s going on in Chelmsford throughout the year.
What's on now: Chelmsford College: What Matters Most
Inspired by the Great Baddow Coin Hoard and its collection of Iron Age coins, this exhibition asks a simple question: what is treasure?
Through photography and mixed media, Level 3 Year 2 Film and Photography students from Chelmsford College share their own interpretations of treasure, revealing the people, places, memories and moments that hold the greatest value in their lives.

How you get can get involved
Gallery Wall Programme
In partnership with Ignite Chelmsford, the Gallery Wall programme at the Museum of Chelmsford provides a platform for local creatives or creative groups to exhibit their work in a professional setting. The museum values the opportunity to welcome creatives into the space, not just to showcase their work, but to learn from and celebrate the incredible talent that exists within our communities.
Selected annually through an open call and reviewed by a panel of Ignite partners and museum staff, the Gallery Wall programme invites applicants aged 16 and over who live, work, or study in Chelmsford. We welcome submissions across a wide range of genres, provided the work can be safely and meaningfully displayed within the space.
Previous displays include: The Contortionist by Slowslowzo
