Ferens Art Gallery Hull, Kingston upon Hull

Reviews

1. Elizabeth Baker ★★★★☆

   This was on our to-visit list for our brief visit to Hull. I do find local art galleries interesting, especially as feature local artists and paintings, and this didn't disappoint. Lots of different styles and eras with a large ongoing exhibition of contemporary works. Don't miss the 'calm gallery' on the first floor. Contains a shop and cafe. Free to visit but donations appreciated.

   A remarkable collection, beautifully curated. I loved Drapers, "Ulysses and the Sirens" and Fraser's "Blue Seascape". However, there are plenty of other fabulous works that it's easy to send a few hours there. The food in the cafe was excellent, I can't wait to return.

   Iv been taking my grandson to the museum to do the activity sessions in the holiday and he's been loving the interactive microworld exhibition that's on at present . The craft sessions are brilliant and the volunteers and staff have been wonderful and patient with him . He is very shy and nuero divergent so he has trouble interacting with people , they have adapted to his needs and he is always wanting to visit . Beautiful art gallery. The meals in the cafe are very good, they are reasonable prices too. He loves the kids menu . Very well presented gallery with things to do to educate both young and old. Well done Ferens .

   Wonderfully curated gallery. Only downside was the calm (I think it was called, the upper gallery space) exhibition which had great potential, thwarted by the narrated mindful audio guides insisting that you take a seat when there wasn’t a seat to be found. That and the jet turbine effect noise from the inflatable installation, below the gallery, altogether counteracting the calm.

   What a lovely art gallery which has some truly remarkable and fascinating art work, everything is laid out well and the art work is in brilliant condition. Staff here are very friendly and helpful, with a huge smile on their face. Definitely worth visiting here, and it's completely free to enter which is a major bonus.

   Ferens Art Gallery in Hull city centre is a must-see for art lovers! The collection is diverse and impressive, with works by both local and international artists. The gallery is well-maintained and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I particularly enjoyed the temporary exhibitions, which are always thought-provoking and well-curated. I also appreciated the free admission, which makes it accessible to everyone. Overall, a fantastic cultural experience in the heart of Hull. Highly recommend visiting!

   Short but sweet. A nice variety of art in a beautiful building, without feeling overwhelming with gallery after gallery after gallery. The lego exhibition was a nice touch with some interactive works that could be fun for the kids. If I ever find myself in Hull again, I'll probably stop by for a short visit.

   2/7/22 Primarily came to see the Lego exhibition here, which was mind blowing. Also explored the rest of the gallery. It’s not a large gallery with only 12 rooms and a central hall but nevertheless has some beautiful pieces of art dating from the Renaissance period to the present day. The building itself is also a nice building dating from the 20s and feels as if you are in a building in New York from that period. There is also a shop and cafe but unfortunately on my visit the cafe service was a bit dodgy but the food was good.
