The Towner changes exhibitions every 5-6 months

The configuration of each room has to change regularly.

It can take 2-3 weeks to change over exhibitions

The Towner has its own collection of artwork, some of which is currently at the Towner and some which have been loaned out to other exhibitions.

There are over 4000 works in the Towner collection, mostly framed works.
