In 2016 an investment of £4.5m has provided a refurbished Ferens Art Gallery that has improved environmental conditions, providing a state-of-the art display space for the city’s magnificent collections and large-scale visiting exhibitions. The extension to the rear of the building has improved the café and by relocating the shop has returned this gallery to its intended use and therefore increase the amount of display space.
