Britain is unique in the diversity of it’s art galleries. Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, and Glasgow boast some of the finest galleries in Europe. Britain's history is immersed in culture and the arts, reflected in it's art galleries and studios. |
The Saatchi Gallery puts on contemporary art exhibitions, presenting paintings, drawings and sculpture by largely unseen young artists or by established international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK. Of course the Royal Academy of Arts housing contemporary art from 18th century to the present day. Artist’s open houses or studio’s are another, more personal way to view not only the artist’s work but also have a glimpse into their lives. Many artists lived in Britain and since their deaths their homes have been opened to the public as a celebration of their lives and art. Art galleries such as the National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Portrait gallery, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Dean Gallery and the Royal Scottish Academy building are all beautiful buildings housing exquisite art in Scotland. Wales boasts the Albany Gallery, Martin Tinney Gallery, the famous National Museum and Gallery Cardiff and the Oriel Washington Gallery. |
