This is well worth a visit. They have some lovely paintings and exhibits which are free to visit. At the moment there is a John Singer Sargent exhibition which is well worth paying to see. The cafe is small but very nice - great cuppa

What was there was lovely but it was smaller than anticipated with less art on display than expected. Still worth the visit though. If you're looking for older portrait art or pre-raphaelite this isn't the gallery to go to

Small with some interesting stuff ( mummified rat ). We went to see the Singer Sargent exhibition but we were disappointed as none of his well known paintings were there. I can see better reproductions on Google Art. Why do we have to go to London to see the best? The museum is free but they charge £6.50 for the exhibition. Little Als cafe is friendly with basic good food. Great bacon sandwich.

We visited for the Paul Kidby exhibition, which was very lovely and cheap. The main exhibition is free, which is great and pretty boring, which is a little unfortunate. There were some tables with pencils, probably for kids, but I used the opportunity to get a little creative and it ended up being quite fun. Toilets were clean and all the members of the staff were very friendly. There is also a cute little Cafe. If you are close by it’s worth a quick visit, but if you aren’t especially interested in the current exhibition it’s really nothing special and overall very small.

Lovely experience. Small gallery with some beautiful art and a few interesting historical displays about Worcester. These were great. Our main attraction to the gallery was the Terry Pratchett exhibition of Kidby's art. We really loved this collection. 10/10. My girlfriend, the real fan, was truly "nerding out" and loved every bit of it. Can't wait to see what else they bring to Worcester.
