You need to visit, especially if you are a local to the area! Such an eclectic collection of art, it was truly wonderful. My first visit will certainly not be the last.. Thanks to the staff also; extremely friendly and accommodating. The bookshop was also a real treat ���

We spent a very enjoyable couple of hours in the Gallery. A lovely cup of coffee in their coffee shop was an added bonus, would recommend a visit.

Visited WG this weekend to see the fascinating exhibition by German photographic artist Thomas Ruff. I found the gallery a high quality art venue with friendly, informed staff and (when I attended) a quiet, contemplative, atmosphere permeated throughout the exhibition. The exhibits were well presented with periodic, informative texts and a small, but detailed brochure was presented free when you paid your entrance fee. Altogether a great experience and one I will definitely be repeating.

Very welcoming always; I recommend membership to support this small gallery - artists varied - popular as well as famous. Great work on view. 99% of exhibitions are free, great talks & gatherings going on as well. Sign up!

However, not for the first time did I find staff in the café distant & impersonal; - with 3 staff in this small café, they had trouble communicating with people.

This is an amazing and historically important art space. We visit London every summer and Whitechapel Gallery is always on our list of sights to see. We saw The London Open, a triennial exhibition of work from artists around the world. Originally, the exhibition was a yearly event limited to residents of East London. The current show was vibrant with a mix of work made by artists from all corners of the globe.

More than one exhibition on spacious easy to get around lifts to each floor I had a brilliant day went to see the photographic exhibition pleased to see there were others on as well

Mark Dion's "Theatre of the Natural World" was brilliant. Beautiful with an undercurrent of sadness. Also enjoyed the Leonor Antunes installation and loved the Art for the Elizabeth line - particularly Chantal Joffre. Many thanks.

Mark Dion at The Whitechapel Gallery. Ghoulishly engaging with the obsessive cataloguing and, frankly, borderline hoarding of 19th Century Naturalists. At the centre of it all an aviary/library you can walk into with a reassembled apple tree and 11 pairs of Zebra Finches.



I wanted to express self-satisfied outrage at the use of live animals (its cold, I need warming up). But in fact the birds seemed pretty happy and looked after by the RSPCA. I stared at the collection of books: hunting, ornithology, bird-related literature, pictures of David Attenborough. Quite tranquil, until I spotted a hidden picture of Alfred Hitchcock…



It’s rare an exhibition can do this. Challenging, beguiling but with sudden stings in the tail. Another great exhibition by one of London’s best galleries.

I went to see the Kentridge exhibition which was superb. Have to say though that I was sorry not have had the time to do a bit more viewing and exploring. Will most definitely be back.

I have been visiting for years, but could never tire of the changing and often eclectic exhibitions. Went yesterday for the 'Handful of Dust' exhibition - fantastic. Very small shop, but I still always find a book I want. Oh, and the cafe serves excellent coffee!

I absolutely love this gallery. Hadn't been in years and I have to say I was very impressed with your expansion into what was formerly the Whitechapel library, which brought back a lot of fond memories. Overall, a fantastic Gallery in my opinion.

Hi, my name is Andrzej Ejmont and together with my wife we are “Soul’s Expression through art & paint”. We love acrylic painting and our passion can be seen through our art.. I just wanted to introduce ourselves to you and share our page with you. Please follow the link in the comments below

Great exhibition of Eduardo Palaozzi at the moment, friendly helpful staff, good cloakroom facilities, reasonably priced shop for original items and a great cafe. Perfect for afternoon tea after a couple hours of viewing of rarely seen works of art. Bonus it s right next door to Aldgate East tube station so perfect if unable to walk far.

Everyone judges the world by themselves, which is a great error in judgment. If a person is a son-of-a-bitch by nature: crude, dishonest, cynical, greedy, self-centered and so forth, he or she is predisposed to view everyone else as essentially the same. There are no innocent people in this world; only guilty ones who have not yet been caught. If a person is a sweetheart by nature: kind, considerate, charitable, honest, dutiful, trustworthy, open and so forth, he or she is likewise predisposed to view everyone else as essentially the same. While these two examples are extreme opposites of each other, we all fall into a frame of mind that all other people are a psychological mirror of ourselves. Negative people tend to view other people negatively. In their view, the world is populated by greedy bastards, who cannot be trusted in any case. Optimists will assume that all people are fundamentally good. The only reason that people will do bad things is because of the unfortunate circumstances of their lives. Most people will fall into some gradation of worldviews between these two extremes, but the proposition remains that we will all judge the world by our own personality, cultural values and life experiences. I am no exception. None of us can escape our interpretations of reality based upon the particularities of our own lives. This narrative is peppered with personal anecdotes, which in retrospect were very insignificant episodes in the scale of things that should be thought of an important; but, which for me, were very instructive as to human nature. While wisdom is usually thought of as a communal value, it can only be tested at the individual level of experience.



Personal worldviews are also disaggregated by multiple combinations of factors such as sub-cultural values, based upon social class, economic position, ethnic background, religion, language, education, occupation, gender and sexuality being among the most important influences. Convicted felons serving time in a Florida prison are going to have a very different view of the world than Buddhist monks in Thailand. A native of the Brazilian rain forest will see the world very differently than a resident of the Upper West Side of Manhattan. A factory worker in Shanghai, China will have different dreams for a better future than an aspiring actress in Hollywood. Divergent life experiences in a very real sense will land us all into a parallel universe from our fellow man, even those who may share many of our own particular combination of sub-cultural affiliations.

This was a nice Art Gallery. I got to see it while returning from work to station as it opens Thursday until late evening. I will most likely go on First Thursday walking tour next month.

The gallery is quite small but cosy is probably the word I'm looking for. When looking around you must have an open mind about what art represents. To some art is paints and that's it!!

But the art represented in Whitechapel gallery was in many different forms.

For instance there was a room dedicated to the gorilla women feminists movement... I found that really fascinating. There was also audio art. Best thing to do is go have a peek yourself... well worth a visit! And it's free entry

Lovely experience, particularly the interactive art

I don't visit this gallery often enough! William Kentridge was a real discovery . overwhelmed by the skill and invention of all his works. But the best was the tapestries for me. Even better than Miro! As an art teacher I have come away with ideas for a multitude of projects. Brilliant

.

Snooty front of house staff doing everything correctly but with an air of 'I'm too good for this, I have a masters in art history'. More diverse staffing, not just ethnically , particularly in this diverse area of London, might provide a more inclusive, welcoming service.
