Our collection of press cuttings covers the whole history of the Whitechapel Gallery, from the very beginning, even before the present-day building was opened in 1901. Almost every exhibition was reviewed on the pages of the contemporary press, along with other events, such as the great painting robbery or the arrival of  ‘Guernica’ by Pablo Picasso. 

Most of the press cuttings are bound in the albums and arranged chronologically.
