Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery
A free university gallery inside the grand old Head Post Office on Fitzalan Square.
Sheffield Hallam University's art school occupies the restored Edwardian Head Post Office, and its ground-floor gallery is open to the public with free exhibitions of art, design and photography.
The building alone is worth the visit — a vaulted former banking-style hall with original detailing — and the shows change regularly through the academic year.
Highlights
- Free exhibitions
- Restored Edwardian post office
- Changing student and guest shows
