Turner Contemporary
Opens 16 April 2011
Margate’s new Turner Contemporary gallery, one of the largest and most important spaces for art outside London, will open to the public on Saturday 16 April 2011.
Designed by internationally acclaimed architect, David Chipperfield, winner of 2007 RIBA Stirling Prize and RIBA Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, the opening of the new landmark building will be one of the key cultural events in 2011.
Taking inspiration from Britain’s best-known painter, JMW Turner who was a regular visitor to Margate throughout his life, the gallery is situated on the sea front on the site of a guesthouse frequented by the artist. To mark this connection there will always be works by Turner on display in the gallery for visitors to enjoy. Read more
