Gallery or museum: choose the experience
A commercial gallery often presents changing exhibitions, while a museum may have a permanent collection alongside temporary shows. Check the current programme before planning a visit.
Opening times, tickets and appointments
Confirm the actual visitor entrance, opening day, admission charge and any appointment requirements through the institution. An office address or gallery headquarters may differ from a particular exhibition venue.
Plan a group or family visit
Ask about guided visits, accessibility, photography, school groups and any restrictions for the current exhibition. Allow travel time between venues and confirm arrangements before bringing a large group.
