Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture

Andrew Logan's sculpture museum sits just outside Welshpool in Powys, and it's one of those places that completely wrong-foots you if you're expecting something conventional. The artist fills his spaces with towering, flamboyant figures - think bold metalwork, vibrant colours, and an unmistakable sense of theatrical abandon. This isn't a quiet, reverential collection of marble busts.

Logan himself is a sculptor and jeweller with serious credentials - he's been at this for decades - and the museum feels more like stepping into someone's passionate creative world than wandering a corporate institution. The work ranges from monumental outdoor pieces to intricate smaller sculptures, and there's a real energy to the display that makes it feel alive rather than archived.

It works brilliantly for anyone who actually enjoys art rather than just ticking boxes. History buffs might find it less gripping than a traditional museum, but families with creative teenagers will get something genuine out of it. Casual visitors expecting a gentle afternoon might find it a bit heavy-going, to be honest - you need to genuinely engage with the work for it to land properly.

Based near Welshpool, it sits well within reach of the local caravan parks - Maes Yr Afon and Severn Caravan Resort are both within easy driving distance. Ring ahead for opening hours and admission fees before you go, as information online is sparse. Allow a good couple of hours if the work genuinely interests you. Rush it and you'll miss the point entirely.
