Messums has staged significant exhibitions of British Impressionism, and in 1985 David Messum's publishing company published British Impressionism: A Garden of Bright Images by Laura Wortley.[5]
The gallery exhibits contemporary art and work by British Impressionist, modern and figurative painters and sculptors. Messum's has promoted the work of the early Newlyn and St Ives painters.[6] In 2012, a proposed development in Cork Street threatened to cause Messum's to move.[7][8]
