York Art Gallery

York Art Gallery first opened its doors to the public in 1879 for the second Yorkshire Fine Art and Industrial Exhibition, later becoming the City Art Gallery in 1892. The gallery has recently undergone a major redevelopment project and reopened its doors on 1 August 2015. The redevelopment has created 60% more display space including a dedicated Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA), along with other improvements including disabled access, new shops and a cafe, and a new outside space called the Artists Garden.
