More about

Sheffield Museums: Graves Gallery is the home of Sheffield’s visual art collection and was officially opened in July 1934, dedicated to ‘the service of knowledge and art’. Situated above the Central Library, away from the noise and traffic of the city centre, the Gallery is a peaceful haven for visitors to enjoy the city’s art and a series of temporary exhibitions. Famous names on show at the Graves Gallery include Turner and Sisley, while more recent artists include Bridget Riley, Sam Taylor-Wood, and Marc Quinn. Local heroes include George Fullard, Derrick Greaves and Stanley Royle.
