Modern art and a permanent collection including some masterpieces, plus classes and local projects.
Falmouth Art Gallery is a delightful cultural treasure. The collection is diverse, with something for everyone--from classic to contemporary works. The space is bright and welcoming, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. It's a perfect stop for art enthusiasts and anyone looking to be inspired. Highly recommended!
Visited the exhibit of 'The Legend of King Arthur: A Pre-Raphaelite Love Story'. I had always wanted to see The Lady of Shalott in person. I visited Tate a while ago but it was being exhibited elsewhere at the time. Now it's exhibiting in Falmouth and it was just great to see. Such a great exhibit overall. Displayed well and with a shop.
Free art gallery with a gift shop. Had an exhibition of Arthurian legend paintings and exhibits on display until end of Sept 2023. Including tapestries.
The website does not reveal that a small handful of the 2700 collection is actually on display.There are two rooms only. When there is an exhibition the gallery's collection is pretty much all stashed away. Perhaps the website could more accurately acknowledge this.
I went with a friend to see the King Arthur exhibition. We both had a great time the exhibition was well put together and including not only wo detail paintings by famous artists but some more light hearted exhibits such as the machine that showed the story of the lady of Shallot with animated figures. Also, despite our age we dressed up as medieval ladies and had our photos taken ! Great day...
A small FREE gallery but I found the exhibition on automata fascinating. I admire the exhibitors (most of whom are local to Falmouth) for allowing some of the exhibits to be played with (most people are careful but I was concerned about the child who was seeing how fast he could turn the handle - why wasn't the parent explaining that for everyone to enjoy these exhibits, we most all be respectful and careful not to break them). Beautiful, detailed work - often very complex scenes - as well as larger models/automata. Activities for children (everyone, probably) to try. Show your support for this small free gallery as we were told that the council needs to see that it is worth keeping it open by the number of visitors it attracts.
