About The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge
A council-run museum, art gallery, library and the city’s visitor information centre on the High Street. Admission is free, though special exhibitions and events may be charged. Visit Canterbury lists it as closed on Mondays. The Beaney’s own website could not be reached from the research machine, so hours come from Visit Canterbury; the Art Fund page confirms free entry and sends visitors to the Beaney’s plan-your-visit page for current times.
