Whitechapel Gallery

Whitechapel Gallery has been at the heart of London's art scene since 1901 and is one of the UK's leading galleries for modern and contemporary art. Located on Whitechapel High Street, it has a long history of bringing world-class artists and exhibitions to east London, making art accessible to everyone.

Over the years, the gallery has showcased work by some of the world's most influential artists, from Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo to Mark Rothko, Lucian Freud and many of today's leading contemporary creators. Alongside major exhibitions, the gallery regularly commissions new artworks, supports emerging talent and explores ideas that reflect the cultures and communities of east London.

Visitors can enjoy a changing programme of exhibitions, artist talks, film screenings, workshops and family activities throughout the year. Many displays and installations are free to visit, making the gallery an excellent place to drop in whether you're a dedicated art enthusiast or simply looking for inspiration during a day out in Tower Hamlets. Selected major exhibitions may require a ticket.

The gallery also features a welcoming café, an independent bookshop specialising in art and design, and a range of learning spaces offering creative opportunities for people of all ages. With its striking historic architecture, vibrant programme and central location close to Whitechapel and Aldgate East stations, Whitechapel Gallery is an ideal place to experience contemporary culture in the heart of east London.
