The Victoria Art Gallery is a free public facility located in the centre of the beautiful city of Bath. Open all year round, it is visited by 76,000 people annually.

The Gallery houses Bath & North East Somerset's collection of paintings, sculpture and decorative arts. The building was designed in 1897 by a Scottish architect, John McKean Brydon. To celebrate Queen Victoria's sixty years on the throne, it was decided to name the Gallery after her.

The oil paintings in the Gallery's collection date from the fifteenth through to the twentieth century. Among them are works by painters who were active in the Bath area, including Thomas Gainsborough, Walter Sickert and J M W Turner.
