Small scale with variety of works to view. Don't miss the Neil Dawson cones suspended from the atrium. More

Nothing great about the place. It is free, but there wasn't much art and the art didn't have any type of coordination. More

We spent a few hours here, viewing an interesting exhibition of favourite pieces from the Gallery's collection. We were very impressed, and the staff were very friendly. The cafe is also a good place for lunch. More

The range of art is impressive for an art gallery of this size. You could whizz around in 40 minutes, or take 2-3 hours to really study the works. Entry is by donation. Wheelchair accessible, with a lift between floors. More
