The York City Art Gallery first opened in 1879 for the Yorkshire Fine Art Exhibition as a temporary building. Three years later the building which houses the current gallery was built as a permanent fixture. The gallery’s collections are organised in six themes and include paintings by Etty, Basano, Turner, Snyders, Lowry, Paul Nash, Danby, Reynolds as well as sculptures and pottery. The gallery fell victim to an armed raid in 1999 when twenty paintings worth in the region of £700,000 were stolen but subsequently recovered. In 2005 the gallery re-opened after a lavish refurbishment costing £360,000.

I think you can tell a lot about how a city considers itself by the quality and quantity of the public art it has on show and York has some truly excellent pieces of work at this gallery. Ranging from TS Lowry to Hockney and some dating back over six hundred years there is something to appeal to everyone's tastes. There is also a changing program of events alongside the permanent collection keeping the gallery fresh and interesting.
