| Organisation Background: | |||||
| The Photographers' Gallery, the first independent gallery in Britain devoted to photography, was founded in 1971 at 8 Great Newport Street. This building now houses the Gallery's primary exhibition space and a bookshop. In 1980 the Gallery also moved into 5 Great Newport Street; initially rented, the freehold was purchased in 1986 thanks to a successful funding campaign.
The Gallery has developed a reputation as the UK's primary venue for contemporary photography. One of its major achievements has been to establish photography within a wide viewing public, making it more popular and accessible.
In 2011, The Photographers’ Gallery will move to a new building at Ramillies Street, the opposite side of Soho from our current location. This new Gallery will allow us to expand our pioneering role of exhibiting, educating, and engaging people with photography.
