A special exhibition exploring the rich heritage of the Wimbledon Village Club and Lecture Hall. Over the years the building has witnessed a full spectrum of experiences, providing piety and sobriety, shelter and camaraderie, conviviality and revelry. Visitors will discover the building’s links to Wimbledon’s history and the colourful characters who have crossed its threshold.
Alastair Gordon is working with Wimbledon Museum to produce a show in the Gallery in early 2026. The core of the show will be paintings of museum objects, based on drawings made during his residency.
Notions of authenticity lie at the heart of his artistic enquiry, as he looks for evidence of the real thing within his practice. Artists’ materials such as masking tape and paper are rendered in paint to appear as taped or pinned on a wooden surface, a practice that refers to a specific form of illusionism that proliferated in 17th century Northern Europe called quodlibet (what you will).
Shamani Surendran was Photographer in Residence in September 2023, when she created this series of portraits of the building. She lives with her family in Wimbledon.
Shamani sees photography as a way to capture a unique moment, never to be repeated, different from the time before and different from the time ahead. It allows her to translate her observations visually onto paper so that others may interpret what she has seen. It is often exciting when someone notices something totally different whilst looking at the same subject – a face in a tree, a shape in a shadow, a story in a reflection – and provokes the question “What is it we truly see in front of us?”.
Wimbledon Museum is collaborating with MA Illustration & Animation students from Kingston School of Art to explore the theme of “home” through creative responses rooted in local heritage.
Visitors are invited to discover an exhibition of imaginative visual work—from illustrated books to short animations—alongside simple, hands-on drop-in activities designed for all ages.
Join experienced guide Alan Blower for a Wimbledon Museum walk taking in the sites of the lost Manor Houses of Wimbledon. The tour starts and finishes at the Wimbledon Museum, where you can see the models of the Manor Houses as well hearing the stories of the other objects on display.
