Konstantin Leonidovich InterbomzhJuly 2, 2016Not-very-large in size, but very imprtnt for local dvlpmnt & very well and professionally staffed unit on the beautifl S-E coast of UK!
Derek BaldwinNovember 26, 2012Always worth a visit though I gave Tracey Emin's crappy drawings a miss. I wish they had kept this exhibit from Revealed, based on Turner's supposed last words "the sun is god". Arcadia was great too.
Roz ThomasMarch 28, 2019Stunning space with great views out to see. Katie Paterson & JMW Turner exhibition is excellent. Kids encouraged to explore the art.
Michaela WatkinsonJune 16, 2018Beautiful building. On the top floor there is an amazing view of the ocean, spot the Antony Gormley statues in the sea!
David RosenbergSeptember 16, 2014Explore this stunning museum designed by Sir David Chipperfield. Enjoy how the light changes in the larger room upstairs as dusk approaches.
- Y KimJanuary 19, 2015I love this museum. It is on the coast side in Margate. Family friendly. Not too much crowded. Enjoyed Jeremy Deller's show.
Dave MoffatOctober 21, 2017Well run and laid out space. Up to you as to whether you like the artwork, but the facilities and organisation are all well run- Damon BattenAugust 9, 2014Excellent little gallery, the current Mondrian exhibition is superb. Sadly the rest of Margate doesn't have a lot else to offer
Amy RobinsonAugust 27, 2013Such a novelty to enjoy some great contemporary art with the backdrop of the sea. A lovely building, inside and out.
Roy StannardApril 25, 2011Visited the new Turner Contemporary Gallery with my son Callum. Loved it all, but the highlight ironcally was the beautiful round window outlook onto the Thames Estuary. Natural art.- pieter vJuly 23, 2017The outside is pretty but man is the collection poor. 3 rooms with art is not a museum, sorry!
Big place - small exhibition - but it's the small things in life..
Avradeep ChakrabartiOctober 26, 2014The car park for the Turner is not at the front as expected. Only parking for disabled & RNLI. Go up the road then turn left or there's parking up and right 80p per hour.- Kate SawbridgeNovember 24, 2011Great space - and lovely food - and stunning sunset views from cafe! A treasure in Margate.
Daniel ダニエルJune 16, 2012Tracey Emins exhibition is currently showing (as of June 2012) - check it out, like the drawings of a mad person !
Jo Marie AllenSeptember 15, 2019I wasnt overly impressed. In a random spot and not much good in the winter.
The views from inside when the sun sets are stunning. What a fantastic building
Neil BeveridgeMarch 7, 2015Unbelievably rubbish, taking our time to explore the place we were in and out in 5 minutes. Good job it's free...
