About Ferens Art Gallery
The Ferens Art Gallery is an art gallery in the English city of Kingston upon Hull. The site and money for the gallery were donated to the city by Thomas Ferens, after whom it is named. The architects were S. N. Cooke and E. C. Davies. Opened in 1927,
it was restored and extended in 1991. The gallery features an extensive array of both permanent collections and roving exhibitions.
Among the paintings in the permanent collection is a portrait of an unknown young woman by Frans Hals.
Past temporary exhibitions included features on Queen Victoria and Hull – part of the Royal Collection Trust touring show (2022–2023), Ian McKeever RA (2019), Francis Bacon (2017) and David Remfry RA (1975 and 2005). The building also houses a children's gallery and a popular cafe.
