History

What You Can See

The Building

Built in 1930, Ipswich Art Gallery is the former premises of Ipswich School of Art and adjoins the Museum.

When the two buildings were linked, the museum collections provided direct inspiration for the work of both students and the staff.

The Exhibitions

Our programme draws from Ipswich’s own art and museum collections, as well as touring exhibitions and our regular open season, which showcases work from local artists.

The Events

We bring art and history to life through our events programme, including art and craft workshops, tours, talks, quizzes and much more.

Our Friends

This fantastic space is available for corporate hire and is often used by theatre groups and local organisations.
