Whitechapel Gallery, Art museum in Whitechapel, United Kingdom.
The Grade II* listed Whitechapel Gallery occupies a prominent position on Whitechapel Road, featuring distinct Art Nouveau architectural elements across its white facade.
Established in 1901, the gallery made history by exhibiting Pablo Picasso's Guernica in 1938 and hosting Mark Rothko's first UK exhibition in 1961.
The gallery maintains a strong commitment to contemporary art through exhibitions, educational programs, and collaborations with international artists throughout the year.
Located in East London, the gallery welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours until 21:00 on Thursdays and approximately 490,000 annual visitors.
In 2009, the gallery expanded into the adjacent former Passmore Edwards library building, doubling its exhibition space and adding dedicated archive facilities.
