Visitor Information
In April 2009 the Whitechapel Gallery re-opened its doors after an ambitious expansion transforming its spaces and doubling its size. The century-old institution is the artists’ gallery for everyone. With beautiful galleries, exhibitions, artist commissions, collection displays, historic archives, education resources, inspiring art courses and a dining room, the expanded Gallery is open all year round, so there will always be something free to see.
