Pallant House Gallery

Museum & Gallery, Chichester

Pallant House Gallery is one of the finest collections of modern British art outside London, housed in a Queen Anne townhouse dating from 1712 and a contemporary wing opened in 2006. The collection includes works by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Graham Sutherland, Ivon Hitchens, Peter Blake, and R. B. Kitaj, among many others. The gallery was founded on the collection of Walter Hussey, Dean of Chichester Cathedral, who was a significant patron of twentieth-century artists. Temporary exhibitions run alongside the permanent collection. The gallery also holds prints, photographs, and decorative art. The building itself is of architectural interest, the townhouse being one of the best examples of early Georgian domestic architecture in the city. There is a bookshop and a garden cafe.
