Whitechapel Gallery

ArtClosed · Opens 11am

The Whitechapel has been discovering artists before anyone else since 1901 — it gave Picasso his first UK showing in 1939 and helped launch the careers of David Hockney, Lucian Freud, and Mark Rothko. The expanded gallery is a bright, generous space with a strong curatorial voice. Thursday evening lates are free and sociable. One of London's most important art venues, without the West End prices or crowds.
