About the Gallery

Whitechapel Gallery is a public art gallery on Whitechapel High Street in East London, opened in 1901 as one of the city’s first publicly funded spaces for temporary exhibitions. Founded by social reformers Canon Samuel and Henrietta Barnett, the gallery was established to bring art and education to the working-class communities of the East End.
