WESTERN ART GALLERIES CLOSURE 1 JUN – 12 SEP

Four popular Western Art galleries on the Level 3 Mezzanine will close for essential work this summer: Sickert & his Contemporaries (Gallery 63), Pissarro (Gallery 65), Pre-Raphaelites (Gallery 66) and the 19th Century Art (Gallery 67).

We appreciate your patience while we improve the environment in the galleries for the long term.

Two paintings from these galleries, Turner's High Street and Millais's John Ruskin, are on display in the European Art Gallery (Gallery 44) for the summer.
