Whitechapel Gallery

ArtClosed · Opens 11amFreeAldgate East

Die Whitechapel entdeckt seit 1901 Künstler, bevor es andere tun – 1939 zeigte sie erstmals Picasso in Großbritannien und trug maßgeblich zum Durchbruch von David Hockney, Lucian Freud und Mark Rothko bei. Die erweiterte Galerie ist ein heller, großzügiger Raum mit ausgeprägter kuratorischer Handschrift. Die Thursday Evening Lates sind kostenlos und gesellig. Einer der bedeutendsten Kunstorte Londons – ohne die Preise und Menschenmassen des West End.
