Humber Street Gallery
WHERE
Hull
What it’s like
Contemporary art exhibitions in Hull with a rooftop terrace looking out over the old town.
This is a gallery to wander rather than rush. The exhibitions change and lean contemporary, so what's on the walls one visit might be video, sculpture or something harder to pin down the next, which suits kids who get bored of paintings quicker than adults do.
The rooftop terrace is the bit to save for last. Views across Hull, fresh air after a few rooms of art, and a natural point to ask if anyone's still got the patience for one more room. There's a café on site too, so you don't have to plan the whole visit around finding somewhere to eat afterwards.
It sits well for anyone arriving without a car: bike parking's there if you're cycling in, and it's on public transport routes. Free parking is listed too, which is a small but real relief in a city centre.
There's no age guide given, so use your judgement. It suits kids who can cope with looking rather than touching, and older children curious about art will get more from it than a toddler who wants to run about.
