Always a wonderful place to visit. Currently some work is being done and the lifts are broken if this is an issue (top floor). But the Gallery itself has never let us down.

Nice and interesting gallery to walk around with lots of different exhibitions and paintings / art to look at

Lovely serene gallery with a mix of old and new.
Do take your time in here, don’t rush. Read.
I have to mention that some pieces really evoked some emotions in me.

Nice range of classic and contemporary works of art on the third floor of the city library. I spent around 1 hour looking at several masterpieces. Many artists to mention here. The staff are friendly. Just turn up and appreciate the paintings, sculptures and a long tapestry too. I definitely would recommend another visit.

Great little place. Interesting exhibitions. Shame the council is letting such a beautiful building rot though

The Graves Art Gallery is a wonderful arts space in the heart of Sheffield, close to the Crucible and Lyceum theatres, and the Winter Garden. It's on the 3rd floor of the library building.
There's an impressive arts collection, with changing exhibitions on a variety of topics.
It's well worth a visit.

Graves Gallery is the smallish municipal art museum in Sheffield, housed on the 3rd floor of the imposing building that is the city's Central Library. About 5 minutes from Sheffield Station. Entry is free, and photography is allowed. Unfortunately, some of the galleries are closed at the moment for refurbishing, so we're temporarily left with some contemporary art (permanent) and an interesting temporary exhibit on the works of Sheffield sculptor George Fullard. His works and the fact that the nearby Millennium Gallery is also an interesting art venue make Graves Gallery worth a visit despite the momentary limitations.

Beautifully presented little art gallery on the edge of the city centre. Friendly and knowledgable staff and comfortable surroundings make this place a welcome oasis - as others have said - in a sometimes bleak and modern landscape.
