Many famous and much-loved
pictures are once again on view for the public to see and
enjoy in the new Guildhall Art Gallery which opened in 1999.
The original gallery was burned down during a severe air raid
in May 1941.
The new gallery displays about 250 works of art at a time, with
a programme of temporary exhibitions exploring different themes and
allowing many lesser-known pictures from the collection to come out
of store.
Latest news
As a result of essential works there will be no lift
access to the Victorian Galleries until further
notice – access to these rooms will be via staircase
only (other areas in the Gallery and the Amphitheatre will not be
affected).
Free Friday tours
Combine a visit to the
Gallery with a free tour of the highlights of the permanent
collection. Booking is not necessary and the tours begin at
12.15pm, 1.15pm, 2.15pm and 3.15pm.
