The Photographers’ Gallery is creating an iconic new building in the heart of London’s West End.
On 19 September 2010, the Gallery will close its doors to the public for a year while embarking on an ambitious development of the building, creating a new, international home for photography in the UK.
From October 2010, construction will begin at 16-18 Ramillies Street. Architects O’Donnell + Tuomey’s exciting plans will transform the former Edwardian warehouse into a state-of-the-art photography gallery.
Coinciding with its 40th anniversary, The Photographers’ Gallery will reopen in Autumn 2011.
The Photographers’ Gallery success over the past four decades has established photography as a recognised art form, introducing generations of visitors to important names in photography and championing photography’s place at the heart of visual culture. This major development is an initiative which builds on our long standing legacy as the premier photography gallery in the UK as well as ensuring we are in the position to define photography to the world in the 21st century.
