Bankside Gallery, Art museum and educational center in Bankside, London, England.
Bankside Gallery is an art museum situated on the Thames Path in Southwark, right beside Tate Modern. The building displays contemporary watercolors and original prints distributed across several exhibition spaces.
The museum was established in 1980 and has served as a permanent exhibition space for two artistic organizations since then. It became an important venue for watercolor and printmaking work in London.
The space displays work from artists who are members of two prestigious artistic societies, showing their work here on a rotating basis. Visitors experience how these communities continue to support and exhibit contemporary practice in watercolor and printmaking.
The museum is open daily and sits on a popular riverside path, making it easy to visit while walking along the Thames. Its location next to Tate Modern allows you to visit both venues in one trip.
The venue operates as an educational charity and offers year-round programs on art theory and practice. What stands out is that all exhibitions remain free to enter.
