What is "messum's"

Messum's is an art gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair, a London street with many art galleries. It was founded by David Messum in 1963. The gallery exhibits contemporary art and work by British Impressionist, modern and figurative painters.

Artists who have exhibited at the gallery include William Bowyer, Peter Brown, James Dodds, Rose Hilton, Kurt Jackson, Edward Piper, John Piper and Jeremy Annear.

In 2012 a proposed development in Cork Street threatened to cause Messum's to move.
