It is a lovely building with huge space to display modern art, but there’s not much on display. What is on show may not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, they do sell cups of tea and coffee too in their cafeteria which might be more appealing for some visitors.nnI enjoy modern art and was looking forward to this gallery. Didn't feel that the building made the best of its seaside setting. There wasn't a lot inside. A wedding was taking up a large chunk of the building. The exhibition was ok
Not to be missed when in Margate. Great views of the sea to be enjoyed together with the art exhibitions of the moment. I do not always appreciate contemporary art, but enjoyed the Ed Clark exhibition. There was a nice little gift shop and cafe in the museum, and chairs you could lounge in to enjoy the sun and the sea.
If you are visiting Margate sands - why not spend an hour or so of your time absorbing the culture found within the Turner Gallery. It is free, continually changes their exhibitions throughout the year and houses some exceptional work from across the globe. In short - a worthwhile visit.nnLonger Review: we have never been disappointed with our visits to The Tate groups, Turner Gallery. We have seen work by Turner himself, Grayson Perry and even a piece by my favourite American artist Edward Hopper. The gallery is modern and not too demanding on time. There are lockers to store your belongings, restrooms, cafe and a gift shop. On sunny days, there may even be deck chairs at the entrance overlooking the bay of Margate sands. In our most recent trip, this was accompanied by a DJ plying vintage sounds. The Turner Gallery is more than just a museum though - it serves as the hotbed of forward thinking ideals and virtues - bringing a blend of cultural life into Margate that is wonderful to see and experience. Personally - I love this venue and always look forward to our next visit.
Fantastic display of living art from the moment you enter the installation of macrame net suspended from the ceiling united the coastal setting to the interior. See an amazing display of living art as oxygen works on the exhibits. See candle wax melt to form ever moulding architecture. See gazanis flowers as their life ebbs into decay and amazing colours fade to grey fibrous skeletons. Stunningas you watch an amazing 3d printer at work - more art in the making.
I visited here with some friends and had t really researched the place. I expected to see some Turners given the seemingly eponymous naming of the gallery. What I found instead was a curious contemporary gallery housed in an architecturally intriguing building. It really adds to the town and looks great.nnSadly, we didn’t get to see much as they happened to be setting up exhibitions when we were there, but we saw a couple of pieces from the permanent collection, and checked out the shop which was full of quirky bits and bobs.nnHope to come back here and see more!
