Scarborough Art Gallery houses the borough’s permanent collection of fine art, which has grown through gifts, bequests and purchases since its beginnings in 1947, reflecting the vibrant mix of the community and its cultural heritage.
The gallery, originally called Crescent House, was built as a family home in the late 1840s by local solicitor John Uppleby and has had a fascinating history. This Grade II* Italianate villa is one of the finest buildings in Scarborough, set in the beautiful Crescent Gardens in the centre of town.
As well as the permanent collection, the Art Gallery hosts regular temporary exhibitions, showcasing objects from the collections and work by local, national and internationally renowned artists, as well as interesting touring work from around the UK. The Community Gallery showcases the talents of local groups, with an eclectic range of exhibitions and events throughout the year.
The Art Gallery has full access to the ground floor and shop only. Support dogs and well-behaved dogs are welcome. An induction loop is available. The Gallery is breast feeding friendly.
