The team coordinating the the reopening of The Turner House have issued the following statement:

“We are very excited about bringing The Turner House to Penarth but as you will know, the ongoing restrictions mean the gallery cannot open as planned on 24th January. Whilst this is disappointing for all of us, we are confident that you will understand that this small delay is a necessary step to help keep our community safe in these unprecedented times.

We have been in regular contact with our programme partners and we are pleased to say that all planned exhibitions and events will be able to take place in due course, including the upcoming Hayward touring exhibition of works by Eduardo Paolozzi.

In the meantime, we will keep you updated on the development of the new gallery spaces and share highlights of our special permanent exhibition which documents the history of The Turner House.
