A small gallery, but full of interest with changing exhibitions. The lift is around the back! More

I have visited twice so far, the staff are passionate about their exhibits and showed me a sneaky view of a William Waterhouse that was being rehung that afternoon. I can't recommend this family friendly gallery enough. It may be small in size but huge in information and content, a real treasure More

I love this gallery. I have seen all kinds of art here over the years, memorable etchings by Goya, prints by Matisse, paintings by great local artists like Tuke and Hemy. Everyone is welcome in for free. Children are not just tolerated, but encouraged to make their own art. More

Some great works of art in this small gallery - a great place for a family to spend half an hour - manageable and really interesting. Love the wooden clockwork models - some of which are based on the paintings next to them. A curator with a real sense of humour too - you'll see when you go! More

A lovely little place, above the town library. Once inside you find some extraordinary hidden gems tucked away in the galleries, including paintings by big-name artists such as Waterhouse, Hemy and Burne-Jones, plus fantastic automata that you can actually work! Well worth seeking out for a pleasant afternoon's visit. More

Excellent small town municipal gallery with a keen regard to the importance and strength of it's collection. The previous reviewer makes the point very well. Some very good stuff cannot be displayed because of lack of wall space but the staff are very helpful in keeping with the spirit of a town that recalls the artist strengths of West Cornwall... More

We thoroughly enjoyed viewing the collection on show, all the exhibits nicely laid out. It is always a great pleasure to be able to view wonderful pieces of art. However we were somewhat disappointed to see that the gallery displayed only a couple of Tuke pictures, we felt Tuke being a very famous Cornish painter was not well presented. Whilst... More

Pleasant art gallery in Falmouth which is free to enter, currently mainly showing artwork by Kurt Jackson. There are some good paintings and it is a fine place to visit if you have some spare time in Falmouth, particularly in the rain. The art gallery is on the first floor and I'm not sure about access for the elderly/disabled etc. More
