Grosvenor Gallery, Art institution in Bond Street, London, England.
Grosvenor Gallery is an art institution in central London that displays contemporary art exhibitions year-round. The building sits on Bond Street and showcases works by both established and emerging artists in dedicated exhibition spaces.
The gallery was founded in 1877 as an alternative venue to the Royal Academy for artists. It became central to the late 19th century Aesthetic Movement and helped advance new artistic directions away from academic tradition.
The name comes from the Grosvenor family, who owned land in this area for centuries. Today visitors find contemporary artworks displayed in carefully arranged rooms where art lovers and collectors gather.
The location on Bond Street makes it easy to reach and visit alongside other shops and galleries in the area. It is worth checking exhibition times ahead and allowing time to view the artworks at a comfortable pace.
The gallery installed electric lighting in the 1880s, which was a major technical innovation at the time. This led to the creation of a dedicated power station to supply electricity to the building.
