Not-very-large in size, but very imprtnt for local dvlpmnt & very well and professionally staffed unit on the beautifl S-E coast of UK!

Derek Baldwin

Always worth a visit though I gave Tracey Emin 's crappy drawings a miss. I wish they had kept this exhibit from Revealed, based on Turner's supposed last words "the sun is god". Arcadia was great too.

Roz Thomas

Stunning space with great views out to see. Katie Paterson & JMW Turner exhibition is excellent. Kids encouraged to explore the art .

Michaela Watkinson

Beautiful building. On the top floor there is an amazing view of the ocean, spot the Antony Gormley statues in the sea!

Enzo Martinelli

Interesting new space for art exhibition in Margate. Entry is free.

David Rosenberg

Explore this stunning museum designed by Sir David Chipperfield. Enjoy how the light changes in the larger room upstairs as dusk approaches.

I love this museum . It is on the coast side in Margate. Family friendly . Not too much crowded . Enjoyed Jeremy Deller's show.

Amy Robinson

Such a novelty to enjoy some great contemporary art with the backdrop of the sea. A lovely building, inside and out.

Dave Moffat

Well run and laid out space. Up to you as to whether you like the artwork, but the facilities and organisation are all well run

Roy Stannard

Visited the new Turner Contemporary Gallery with my son Callum. Loved it all, but the highlight ironcally was the beautiful round window outlook onto the Thames Estuary. Natural art .

Damon Batten

Excellent little gallery , the current Mondrian exhibition is superb. Sadly the rest of Margate doesn't have a lot else to offer

The car park for the Turner is not at the front as expected. Only parking for disabled & RNLI. Go up the road then turn left or there's parking up and right 80p per hour.

The outside is pretty but man is the collection poor. 3 rooms with art is not a museum , sorry!

Big place - small exhibition - but it's the small things in life..

Unbelievably rubbish, taking our time to explore the place we were in and out in 5 minutes. Good job it's free...

Small but perfectly formed menu of brunch dishes, served on a vintage bus. The coffee is filter only, so pop next door for something a little fancier. Worth booking in advance as gets busy. - Mallory Napolitano
