The Chambers Gallery sits parallel to the Pennethorne Gallery and is designed primarily for exhibiting works of art on paper.  For this reason, it is designed with no natural light and with a series of matching partitions and cases that can be used in various combinations to suit different exhibition layouts.  The Gallery may also be used to display a range of other objects including porcelain, fabergé and bronzes.  For conservation reasons, the gallery is artificially lit, using fittings which are discreetly hidden within plaster rosettes.  This technique is repeated in the other galleries, and as often in Simpson’s work, what appears to be pure decoration also serves a modern technological role.
