Whitechapel Gallery

The Whitechapel Gallery is a public art gallery in Whitechapel, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, on the north side of Whitechapel High Street. The original structure, built by Charles Harrison Townsend, opened in 1901 as one of London's first publicly sponsored temporary exhibition galleries. The structure is a prominent example of British Modern Style architecture. By absorbing the nearby former Passmore Edwards library building in 2009, the gallery nearly doubled in size. It showcases contemporary artists' work and hosts retrospective exhibitions and other art events.

Since its inception in 1901, Whitechapel Gallery has played an important part in the capital's cultural scene, assisting East London in becoming one of the world's most lively art destinations. The Grade II listed building, designed by Charles Harrison Townsend, was recently expanded by Robbrecht en Daem Architecten and London-based firm Witherford Watson Mann, as well as a huge design team. Keeping it Real is a part of the gallery's program that showcases notable public and private art collections to a larger audience.
