Designed by architect G A Humphreys, the Mostyn Art Gallery opened in 1901 as a public gallery funded by Lady Augusta Mostyn to exhibit works by female artists. The gallery closed twelve years later and the building was subsequently put to a variety of uses until eventually reopening as an art gallery, Oriel Mostyn, in 1979. Now branded simply as ‘Mostyn’, the gallery of contemporary art underwent a three-year programme of renovation and extension which was completed in 2010. Further Reading Mostyn (official site);

Loving the measured tones of the terracotta shot- beautiful. And the way the far table edge descends off into blur behind the teapot. It,s such a lovely building.

Thanks, Iain. And yes, it’s a fascinating building – I’m often more struck by the building than its contents 😉
