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.

Big Art for Little People
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.
School Workshop - City Art Gallery

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!
