Arts & Culture
As the cultural centre of Devon and Cornwall there is always something to enjoy in Plymouth, from amazing art to family fun, brilliant music to fabulous festivals and plenty of historic attractions.
Art fans and history buffs will love The Box, a museum, gallery and archive home to paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and ceramics, objects, film and photography. Explore the permanent galleries and look out for the changing exhibitions, showcasing everything from incredible contemporary art to priceless historic artefacts.
Just across the road from The Box on the University of Plymouth campus, you'll find The Arts Institute which produces an exciting and high quality public arts programme exhibition all year round.
For film fans, Plymouth Arts Cinema is within Plymouth College of Art’s main campus and showcases a huge range of genres, from foreign and arthouse films to more mainstream fare.
Over the years, Plymouth has been the home of legendary artists such as Beryl Cook, Robert Lenkiewicz and Sir Joshua Reynolds, founder and first President of the Royal Academy. Plymouth still has a thriving art scene today- just visit the independent galleries on the Barbican and Royal William Yard to see what talented local artists are producing.
As an arts and culture destination, there are lots of cultural events to enjoy in Plymouth throughout the year too, including outdoor theatre productions, open-air cinemas, and arts and crafts markets.
