Turner Contemporary is a dynamic visual arts organisation that believes in making art open, relevant and fulfilling for all. Inspired by JMW Turner’s sense of enquiry, the organisation offers a space for everyone to embrace their curiosity and to discover different ways of seeing, thinking and learning.

Turner do this by offering a stimulating programme of temporary exhibitions, events and learning opportunities. This programme enables intriguing connections to be made between art from 1750 to the present day.

Situated on Margate’s seafront, on the same site where Turner stayed when visiting the town, Turner Contemporary is the largest exhibition space in the South East, outside of London. The gallery is at the forefront of Margate’s exciting revival as Kent’s new cultural heart.
