A new outdoor exhibition showcasing work from the Potteries Museum and Art gallery collection is on display in a Stoke-on-Trent garden.

The work of local artist Charles William Brown (1882-1961) is now on display in Bethesda Gardens in Hanley.

The gardens were previously the first place in the UK to host The National Gallery's Art on Your Doorstep exhibition which ended on 7 January 2025.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council explained that the outdoor display fittings, specially designed for the National Gallery exhibition, will remain in place and be used to showcase work from The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery's own collection.

The first of these displays, showcases the work of Charles William Brown, a miner and celebrated local artist of the Potteries.

The council said that exhibition will be free and open until 14 June.
