The Wheeley Lea Gallery, Worcester City Art Gallery & Museums

Welcome to the City Art Gallery & Museum, Worcester's principal art gallery and museum hosts a unique programme of contemporary art exhibitions, as well as housing a historic picture collection and an intriguing selection of objects ranging from a 19th century chemist's shop to the wonderful Worcester sauce machine.

Opened in 1896 this beautiful Victorian building also includes a cafe, an activity space for young visitors, the city library, a gallery shop and the museums of the Worcestershire Regiment and Yeomanry.
Gallery Plan

In 1995, the Art Gallery's two main exhibition spaces were refurbished with a grant from the Arts Lottery Fund, creating lighter, more spacious and more flexible spaces, which provide a good experience for visitors, artists and staff.

The Art Galllery runs a programme of temporary exhibitions in these spaces which aim to encompass visual arts, craft, photography, live art, film, video and new media. The gallery also runs an enjoyable programme of workshops, children's holiday activities, Big Art Family workshops, artist led events and lectures......and after all that, our award winning Balcony Cafe is just the place for some light refreshments or a meal!
