Situated in the handsome Old Supreme Court building, which was built in 1871 as a post office, this massive red brick building is today one of the country’s top seven art museums. The gallery is named after Mrs Ada Tatham, who was instrumental in obtaining artworks for the city in the early days.
Spend a few hours among beautiful beadwork and intricate basketry, wood and bronze sculptures as well as powerful lino-cuts and oil paintings. There’s also an impressive collection of British and French 19th and early 20th century English and French paintings, including Degas, Picasso, Matisse, Hockney and Renoir, as well as a Henry Moore maquette and china and glassware.
Having fed the soul, refresh the body in the Gallery coffee shop, which offers an interesting and unusual menu and decor – and discover that even the chairs are works of art! The Tatham Art Gallery is open daily (except Mondays) from 10:00 to 18:00, admission if free.
