The Art Gallery shows exhibitions of international importance and provides a unique stage for local artists to show their work and to showcase the region's artistic talents.
Our museums bring art and history to life in a fun way! Find out about our events programme, school holiday activities and Mini Mammoths for the under 5s.
Originally in a purpose-built late Victorian building, the functions of museum, library and gallery were combined. The library was removed in the early 20th century but the Art Gallery and the Museum continued to share premises into the 1970s.
