Turner House Gallery
Turner House Gallery is an art gallery in Penarth near Cardiff, Wales.
The gallery was built in 1887/8, designed by architect Edwin Seward in a Queen Anne style[1] for the rich local flour merchant, James Pyke Thompson.[2] Pyke Thompson used the gallery to exhibit his collection of J.M.W. Turner paintings (hence the name of the gallery) with free entrance to the public.[3]
Turner House Gallery was acquired by the National Museum of Wales in 1921 and used to display the museum's secondary public art collection.[3]
The building was given Grade II listed status in 1993.[4]
In 2003 Turner House was taken over by the registered charity, Ffotogallery, and has subsequently been used for photography-based exhibitions.[3] In 2014/15 the gallery became part of a wider Artes Mundi exhibition, staging works by Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson and Croatian artist Sanja Iveković for Artes Mundi 6.[5]
