Pier Arts Centre, Art museum in Stromness, Scotland
The Pier Arts Centre exhibits British modern art across two connected buildings situated along the historic waterfront of Stromness harbor.
Margaret Gardiner established the Pier Arts Centre in 1979, donating her collection of British fine art to create a cultural institution for Orkney.
The permanent collection includes works by Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, and contemporary pieces by Sean Scully and Olafur Eliasson.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, offering free admission and guided tours of the exhibitions.
The Centre maintains connections with the Tate network, regularly lending its collection pieces to major international exhibitions worldwide.
