The coastal town of Margate houses the Turner Contemporary Gallery, a dynamic centre for modern art that, as it were, is an ode to the bond that existed between the noted landscape painter J.M.W. Turner and the town of Margate. It was in Margate that the artist developed his talent and where he came to find inspiration. The temporary exhibitions and cultural events are, in their turn, intended to inspire the present generation with the beauty of contemporary visual arts. The centre is located on a promenade adjacent to the harbour, on the site of a boarding house where Turner usually stayed when he visited Margate. Also the building itself, designed by David Chipperfield, is a very original creation.
