Collection overview (Collection development policy)
Within the Museum you will find sculptures, mirrored portraits, jewellery and costumes from the mid-sixties to the present day. Andrew’s ground-breaking performance piece, Alternative Miss World, is celebrated with outfits and crown jewels from the 15 shows held since 1972. These performances take the format of a beauty pageant but revise the standardised notions of beauty to explore transformation, creativity and celebration, in a show that goes beyond gender, age, and nationality.
There are also personal items, created by Andrew for his friends, including the actor Divine, painters Luciana Martinez de la Rosa and Duggie Fields, fashion designer Zandra Rhodes and filmmaker Derek Jarman. Andrew’s work and life are inextricably combined, and his friendships and collaborations with creatives as diverse as the Sex Pistols to Stella Mc Cartney are explored in the Museum.
Founded in 1991, the Museum is now a registered charitable trust but still works closely with Andrew to create a unique and surprising experience in the Welsh countryside.
