This gallery in the East End of London has an international reputation for its provocative exhibitions of modern art. The Whitechapel Art Gallery was founded in 1901 by the social reformer and missionary, Canon Samuel Augustus Barnett. He mounted exhibitions of paintings that were very popular with the local East Enders. Today the Whitechapel Art Gallery runs a programme of exhibitions of modern art throughout the year.
