Works on display here show a selection of the Museum’s growing collection of modern art, featuring works by major artists of the 20th century. It charts a period when representational or figurative art was challenged by artists experimenting in abstract art.
The Modern Art Gallery remains open this summer, but the Walter Sickert, Pre-Raphaelites, Pissarro and 19th-Century Art will be closed, see below.
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.
