Newlands House Gallery Explained

Newlands House Gallery is a British gallery of modern and contemporary art, photography and design located in Petworth, West Sussex.

Background

The gallery occupies a 7500square feet Grade II listed Georgian townhouse and adjacent coach house. The building was originally built for Dr. Newlands in the 18th century and was previously occupied by an antiques and interiors shop.^[1]

The gallery was opened in March 2020 by Simon de Pury. Comprising 12 rooms, the gallery stages exhibitions focused on great artists of the 20th century.
