Jose LopezFebruary 12, 2015An art gallery, it's a bit small compared to other galleries and museums in London, however it's worth the visit, if you are close enough and enjoy art spend a bit of your time there.

Y MeNovember 22, 2014Impressionists + Egon Schiele's special exhibition for now. £4.00 Students can get a discount with their student ID card (It doesn't matter eventhough its not an international one.)

A lovely gallery. Temporary exhibitions change frequently and you can always go back for the permanent one. Absolutely favourite! It is not free though.Upvote4Downvote
