Scarborough Museums Trust Venues
Scarborough Art Gallery
The gallery houses our permanent collection which has been built up over sixty years through gifts, bequests and purchases to reflect the eclectic mix of the community and the cultural heritage of Scarborough.
From attic to basement we seek to inspire; as well as having close links with contemporary artists in Crescent Arts’ basement studios, on our ground floor we have a lively family gallery, a shop and host temporary exhibitions to celebrate the many creative professionals based locally.
The galleries on the ground floor house our permanent collection; an exciting mixture of treasures including paintings gifted by famous hotelier Tom Laughton over 20 years. Our own collections are changed regularly however firm favourites by Atkinson Grimshaw, John Jackson, R.A and Sir Matthew Smith as are always on display.
On the first floor we offer both home grown and national touring exhibitions. We have a biennial East Coast Open exhibition attracting both professional and amateur artists and the gallery is used extensively by schools and colleges across Yorkshire.

The Rotunda Museum
The Rotunda is the only museum with direct links to Wiliam Smith, 'The Father of Geology' and the only museum that was specifically designed to illustrate a science - the science of geology.
The museum re-opened in May 2008 after a £4.6m revamp with the new name The Rotunda, The William Smith Museum of Geology. It mixes geology with the social history of a time which gave birth to the first museums financed by local Philosophical Societies driven by passionate intellectual curiosity.
