Pallant House Gallery
The Gallery of Modern Art in the South, Pallant House Gallery is a unique combination of a Queen Anne townhouse and a contemporary building holding one of the best collections of 20th century British art in the world.
The architects of the new building are Long & Kentish Architects in association with Colin St John Wilson.
An extensive exhibition programme includes international touring exhibitions and print room shows as well as changing displays from the collection. Themed guided tours are available as well as talks and events and workshops for adults, children and families throughout the year.
Facilities include an art reference library, a studio for workshops, conservation and artists in residence, a designated room for showing works on paper and a courtyard garden by the award winning Christopher Bradley-Hole.
The bookshop specialises in titles on Modern British Art and includes new, out-of-date and remaindered books. A range of artists' books, postcards and catalogues, stationary and artists' multiples and prints is also available including work by Peter Blake, Paul Catherall, Langlands and Bell and Susie MacMurray.
'The Pallant Restaurant' is a stylish restaurant offering morning coffee, lunches, afternoon teas and is available to hire for evening events.
