Wolverhampton Art Gallery
Wolverhampton Art Gallery aims to provide a friendly, accessible and inclusive environment for visitors to explore art at their leisure.
Our collections include works by some of the finest artists from the 18th century to the present day, with a diverse range of styles to match.
A key aspect of our approach to displaying these collections is the idea of interactivity, and we aim to provide plenty of hands-on activities to challenge, entertain and inform.
The Gallery has recently undergone a £6.4 million extension programme to create a new permanent display area for our extensive Pop Art collection and additional space for special exhibitions.
Along with our traditional Georgian and Victorian galleries, and the award-winning Sensing Sculpture gallery, these new spaces ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy:

In the Georgian Gallery you can discover works from the prestigious Georgian Collection by exploring the artworks in the context of this important historical period. For more information see our Exhibitions section.
