Chichester is indeed fortunate to have the Pallant House Galley which is home to one of the best collections of 20th century British art, housed in the early 18th century Pallant House in Chichester was extended with a new modern extension in 2006. You can tell how much I value visiting the Gallery by the fact that I drove for an hour and a half from London to see both the works on show from the permanent collection and also the current special exhibitions. Among the different special exhibitions across the Gallery, the 'stand-out' exhibition has to be 'Barnett Freedman: Designs for Modern Britain', exploring the work of Barnett Freedman who moved from painting to become one of the most sought-after British commercial designers in the mid-20th century. He is relatively unknown, but his work was seen by many people at the time on posters, in books and in art. He was an amazing artist of his age. The Gallery also has an excellent bookshop and a cafe which appeared to be very popular for morning coffee and for lunch, for which bookings were advised, and where seating spills out into the courtyard that joins the historic building and the new extension together. The only downside for me, which is nothing to do with the Gallery, was the city car park nearby. Paying for parking was slow and tedious and I had to give up at one point and start again.

Delightful little gallery with frequently changing exhibitions - items for sale, plus cards and small gifts. Free entry. (Tucked off the north side of East Street in an old church.)
