Christ Church Picture Gallery is currently closed for a period of renovation and extension of the Grade II listed building.

These essential works will create a world-class facility designed to preserve and enhance public and scholarly access to one of the world’s finest ‘small’ Old Master collections.

While the building undergoes redevelopment, the Picture Gallery continues its work of caring for, studying and sharing the collection, ensuring that it continues to reach audiences across the globe.
