Pallant House Gallery

Pallant House Gallery is a leading UK museum that stimulates new ways of thinking about Modern British art from 1900 to now. Housed in a beautiful Grade 1-listed Queen Anne townhouse in the heart of Chichester with an award-winning contemporary wing, the Gallery presents a significant collection, exhibition programme and learning programme to a broad audience. Pallant House Gallery celebrated its 40th anniversary last year and this has marked the start of an exciting new chapter for the Gallery. This is a life-changing moment in the Gallery’s history as it embarks on an ambitious capital project to renew and expand its public spaces, to create a new Collections Centre for the internationally significant collection of Modern and Contemporary art, and to develop new spaces for award-winning learning and community activities and public programmes.
