Join us to see JMW Turner’s oil sketch 'Waves Breaking on a Lee Shore at Margate (Study for ‘Rockets and Blue Lights’)' at Turner, part of a year-long festival celebrating 250 years since the artist's birth.JMW Turner (1775–1851) is considered the most influential British artist of all time. Turner embraced modernity, redefining landscape painting during his extensive travels in Britain and Europe. He found inspiration in Margate’s skies, calling them ‘the loveliest in all Europe.’ The view from Mrs Booth’s house, near this gallery’s location, inspired many of his sea studies.

Turner Contemporary

358***33

This is a modern art museum in Margate, located in the city center of Margate. The museum building has a modern style, unique shape, and is full of vitality. The museum is spacious, but there are not too many exhibits and the exhibition is sparse. The museum is free to visit, but the exhibits did not leave much impression on me. On the contrary, the several spaces opened here for the audience to participate in enable the public to learn and practice modern art in the museum, which has attracted many visitors. This approach has shortened the distance between the museum and the public, which is worth learning from domestic museums.
