Wedgwood Museum Trust
Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire
THE WEDGWOOD MUSEUM WINS TOP ART PRIZE. It's official! The Wedgwood Museum is Britain's finest museum. The news that the independent Stoke on Trent museum has won the J100, 000 Art Fund Prize 2009 - the UK's biggest single arts prize - was announced last night (18 June) at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London. The Art Fund Prize honours the most imaginative and original museum or gallery of the year and is a large accolade for the museum, which only opened last October after the charitable Wedgwood Museum Trust spent nearly a decade raising funds to build it.
