Turner Contemporary is an art gallery located in the town of Margate, Kent, England. The gallery was named after the well-known landscape architect JMW Turner who studied in Margate, more precisely in a school in Love Lane and also later attended for life. The gallery was born with the intention of becoming a space for contemporary arts and a catalyst for the regeneration of the city. The building that houses Turner Contemporary was designed by David Chipperfield and was built on the raised walk following a flood risk analysis. In the same place there was, an inn often frequented by the artist. The gallery was inaugurated, with great enthusiasm and support from various artists, on April 16, 2011. The following year, in 2012, it was also nominated for the Art Fund Prize. Although Turner Contemporary does not have a permanent collection, during the year it hosts several exhibitions covering much of the history of art, from 1750 to today with, of course, a particular focus on Turner's work and artistic legacy.
