A hidden gem worth a visit

Central Library

Providing a haven from the streets below, the Graves Gallery is your place to relax and think. It has been the home of Sheffield’s visual art collection since 1934 and was refurbished in 2001, giving works by legendary artists such as Turner and Cézanne the home they deserve.

The collections, spanning the sixteenth to the twenty first century, include works by famous names such as Edward Coley Burne-Jones and Bridget Riley and local heroes such as George Fullard and Derrick Greaves.

The display also includes popular pieces from the city's collection such as John Singer Sargent's The Vickers Sisters and a host of treasures which have not been seen on display since the closure of the Mappin Art Gallery in 2003.

Downstairs from the Graves is Sheffield Central Library, which is packed full of everything you need to know about everything.
