Laing Art Gallery

Combine excellence in teaching with enjoyment in learning by visiting the Laing Art Gallery.

The Laing Art Gallery is home to an important collection of fine and decorative art. On display are magnificent works from the collection alongside temporary exhibitions of historic and contemporary art featuring internationally renowned artists. Its impressive permanent collection includes beautiful 18th and 19th century paintings and world-renowned watercolours. The gallery has initiated a national competition, Laing Solo, to showcase emerging artists. A friendly, accessible environment, the Laing has a wealth of resources to help everyone find out more about art.

The Laing Art Gallery is an essential part of any art and design study across the key stages, with an exciting and varied programme of guided introductions and led sessions throughout the year. There are also cross-curricular programmes for some temporary exhibitions.
