Founded in 1901 to bring great art to the East End, it has a reputation for a progressive outlook and for pioneering exhibitions. In this image (March 2009) the gallery is just about to reopen after a major facelift and expansion into the old Whitechapel library next door. The original building with its massive, asymmetrically placed arch was by Charles Harrison Townsend, in Arts and Crafts style.
