    Part of the Nottingham University site and the Lakeside Centre. Been here today to see the FREE Viking exhibition. Fantastic display of information and practical exhibits to see. Lots of different events on throughout the year, great venue. Small cafe on site selling drinks and nibbles, toilets and a small shop. Car park however is pathetic, my advice is park the car at the Toton Tram park, which is free, and take the tram

    I have visited the Treasures of Art from Iraq exhibition twice at the Djanogly Art Gallery.It is on loan from the British Museum.It is a marvelous collection of artefacts from Ancient Iraq and Mesopotamia.There are captions explaining the significance of each object, together with maps showing the different civilizations and videos of how the excavations took place at different times In a separate hall is a great collection of photographs which show many important Buildings of Nottinghamshire . These were used in the Pevsner series Buildings of England and there is a useful explanation of how the photographs were edited to emphasise the building rather than the era in which they were taken.

    I've seen some excellent art exhibitions here. The presentation of art work is well devised and the staff are helpful. Highlights for me have been Ivon Hitchens, Elizabeth Frink. The cafe is very good and the setting with fountain charming. Well worth a visit with a tram stop at the door.

    We went to the British Museums travelling exhibition on Ancient Iraq;New Discoveries. The archaeology of Iraq was beautifully and fascinatingly displayed. The artefacts were interesting and absolutely stunning. The exhibition was laid out in a figure eight rather than the usual clockwise but the incredibly friendly and knowledgable museum assistants were able to direct us to get the most information and see the exhibition in its best suggested route. We found a further photographic exhibition for local Nottinghamshire architecture, which was nice to see, as well. it did seem a little weirdly spaced near the Iraq exhibition. Although, we later learned that it had opened early and was due to officially open after the Iraq archaeology exhibition was closed. So we got to see two exhibitions at the same time! Winning! There was a little cafe to grab some light refreshments after taking your time having a good look through both the main hall and the additional exhibition space. And there was a small shop with locally handcrafted gift options and some great books about the local area and the exhibition. The only confusing part (as someone who had never been before) was that a further exhibition space was in the rotunda which was only accessible through the gift shop (if you started at the main entrance) and passed a lot of offices. Thankfully I had a local with me and they guided me through the experience. If you ask the staff at the shop they will be able to direct you through the building to see more and local archaeological and historical artefacts. All in all it was an enjoyable and well worth a visit.

    Great place. Ok food. Lovely museum / gallery and a shop with arty stuff to buy. Always feels like a calm oasis for culture.

    Fantastic gallery based at Lakeside, the University of Nottingham campus. Parking can be tricky as not many spaces, so take the tram.
