Southampton City Art Gallery

This free (donations accepted) museum is located near the town centre, the Southampton central rail station, and the town centre parks. On the day of my visit in early August, there were exhibits of modern art, older/traditional paintings, and a John Salt exhibit (so glad I caught it, and discovered a new-for-me British artisit). It took me about an hour to walk through the art museum. The flooring is the usual hard materials of museums. Comfortable, walking shoes are recommended; I was glad I had mine.

Beautiful evening /music but almost non existent sound system .Announcers voice could not be heard and I was sitting approximately 6 rows from the front therefore unaware of information surrounding any of the pieces or composers .

What a great Friday night experience! Came to listen to talented young musicians play wonderful ColdPlay classics in a gorgeous venue.

Medium sized gallery in the heart of Southampton City with permanent and temporary exhibitions. Old favourites and interesting new installations. One Saturday morning per month there's a pianist, so beautiful music reverberates around the space. Child-friendly - I love to bring my grandchildren here. Donations are welcome but there's no entrance charge. Why am I telling you all this?! I'd like to keep it for myself!!

A very nice gallery in a very special place. Located on the first floor practically above the ground floor library at the Southampton Civic Center.There is a lift so it is wheelchair accessible. And male and female toilets on the ground floor. They also have a small Arts,Craft and Books shop on the first floor with items made by local Art Students and sold at very reasonable prices.The gallery opened in 1939 with much of the initial funding coming from two bequests. One from Robert Chipper field the other from Frederick William Smith. Southampton City Art Gallery houses some of the finest works of art in the south of England. With over 5,300 items from the Renaissance to the present day. Work includes some of the greats such as J.M.W. Turner, Auguste Rodin, L.S.Lowry, among many others. There is also free entry
