A trip to Margate deserves a visit to the Turner.Hiwever if you are specifically going purely to visit the gallery I would recommend you check it's not changing exhibits and is open.

I have to say that having a Tuner gallery in Margate is the correct place for it as he obviously had a strong connection to his secret mistress here. The building itself I think from the outside is a bit boxey and rather plain. The inside is better with it's smooth walls and floors. Thier isn't a ...

The Turner Contemporary is a beautiful place with amazing views and superb exhibitions. And the gift shop and cafe are amazing too. I can't praise the Turner too highly - it really is that good. The people of Margate should feel justifiably proud to have such an asset in their town. I have no doubt ...

Beautiful space hosting up and coming and new artist. The Turner Prize 2019 will be there this year ffom September. So, there will be visitors from all over the world. The gallery has the biggest lift (elevator) I have seen. So, all groups can be accommodated and no one gets lost. Excellent art.

Unfortunately, I just got kicked out of the Turner Contemporary because I came barefoot. Questioning the staff about a reason for not being allowed to visit art with bare feet, they came up with an actual 'shoe policy'. That's not what I call an artistic spirit. Staff was understanding, but determin...

I love visiting the Turner Contemporary. Everytime, there is a great exhibition. Just walking up the wide steps, next to the sandy beach and having the sea breeze whip your hair into a bit of a mess, adds to the attraction. You can imagine Turner, working on one of his seascapes and then go into ...

Really enjoyed the gallery. The space is great and the photography exhibition we saw was of really good quality with a big display. The location is perfect, you can have a really good lunch or tea after the visit with beautiful views of the sea. Nice shop too.

There's no permanent collection and temporary exhibitions change every couple of months, so whether you enjoy it depends on what's on when you visit. I loved the Wasteland exhibition in March 18.
The building is attractive and light, and the cafe is worth a stop.
