Turner Contemporary is one of the UK’s leading art galleries. Situated on Margate seafront, on the same site where Britain's best-loved painter J. M. W. Turner stayed when visiting the town, Turner Contemporary presents a rolling programme of temporary exhibitions, events and learning opportunities which make intriguing links between historic and contemporary art. Turner Contemporary’s ambition is to make world-class art accessible to everyone, by helping every visitor to look at the world differently, encourage visitors to embrace their curiosity, in the spirit of our namesake, J. M. W. Turner.
