An exhibition showcasing the history of Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities is set to open.

The exhibition, titled Atchin Tan, will open at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum on Saturday, October 26 and will run until Sunday, January 5.

The exhibition is described as a "visual journey through time" of the communities, historically Worcestershire's largest ethnic minority.

It will feature artworks on loan from the Tate by Turner, Gainsborough, and Munnings, alongside newly commissioned artworks.

The exhibition is part of Museums Worcestershire's Vardo Project, which aims to add to the history of the county's rare collection of Vardoes (horse-drawn wagons).

Atchin Tan, the Romani phrase for "stopping place", will take attendees on a journey through art history, exploring representations of a community that has long been present.

The exhibition will begin with some of the earliest representations of travelling life, through to modern representations by contemporary Romani artists.

Visitors to the exhibition can also hear oral histories, enjoy traditional Romani storytelling, and look through family photograph albums.

Traditional items and items handmade for the exhibition will be on display in Crystal's Vardo in the centre of the gallery.

To celebrate the opening day of the exhibition, storyteller Richard O'Neill will be performing 'Colours of My Wagon' on Saturday, October 26 at 11am, 12pm, and 1pm.

The stories are suitable for all ages and admission is free.

Deborah Fox, senior curator at the art gallery and museum, said: "This exhibition records the stories of communities which have been historically important to Worcestershire.

"It is a privilege to have worked with people from these communities and to be able to show their history through these amazing artworks by nationally renowned artists and brand-new commissions."

The exhibition has received funding from the John Ellerman Foundation and the Elmley Foundation to go ahead.

Admission is free and the museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am to 4pm, and on Sundays from 10am to 3pm.
