The Gallery has re-opened and new measures are in place.
Please check the details here before your visit.
The Gallery at Winchester Discovery Centre is a stunning, government indemnity-standard exhibition space which allows it to receive works and artefacts of international importance.
The gallery has a programme of exceptional quality and varied temporary exhibitions which include our own curated exhibitions and works from national lenders such as Tate, British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum to name a few.
The gallery also draws on objects and art from the remarkable, internationally important collections cared for by Hampshire Cultural Trust.
Major recent exhibitions at the Gallery have included Turner and the Sun, the first exhibition to explore the artist’s relationship with the sun; The Mysterious Miss Austen, which brought together for the first – and in all likelihood, only – time, the six known portraits of the author and Gerald Scarfe: Stage and Screen, a close-up look at the prominent cartoonist’s work in film, opera and ballet design.
While you are at the Gallery, make the most of the many facilities that the award-winning Winchester Discovery Centre has to offer, including its comprehensive events programme.
