The Harley Gallery

Situated on the ducal Welbeck estate, the award-winning Harley Gallery shows contemporary exhibitions by leading visual artists. Exhibitions change five times a year, and range from ceramics to photography. The Portland Collection Museum displays works of art from Welbeck’s internationally significant historic collection, which has been built up over the centuries by the Dukes of Portland and their families. There are hundreds of treasures on show including Michelangelo’s ‘Madonna del Silenzio’, Van Dyck’s portrait of the Earl of Strafford, and the pearl earring worn by King Charles I to his execution. The Portland Collection opened in 2016 and has attracted critical acclaim and a national RIBA award for architecture. These two inspiring art galleries are accompanied by an award-winning gallery shop, which specialises in contemporary craft from leading names and emerging makers, Farm Shop and an award-winning Café.

On a overcast day , we went to welbec as an undercover attraction. The gallery has two parts the first building is mostly modern , not my thing unfortunately. But wait ... you must go to the next building housing the Portland collection . WOW what a fascinating look at the wealth and history of the family collection . Most important of all , the gentleman on security , a retired local officer. Was totally fascinating in his knowledge of the history of the pieces on display , paintings, jewellery, articles, he really brings it to life with his storytelling and facts , you must visit if he’s there . Made the place for us .

Great restaurant- Covid aware Really tasty sandwiches and cakes. The hot chocolate drinks were divine. Outside eating available and the staff were most attentive. Covid restrictions fully met.
