Most people would enjoy visiting art galleries if they only had the time and money to travel around the world! Well, now this problem is solved. Saatchi Gallery, a London-based contemporary art gallery, features both an actual gallery and an interactive, on-line gallery that combines hundreds of art galleries into one! Art lovers and novices alike can browse the work of both established and new artists in a variety of genres all from the comfort of their own home.

While many art galleries focus on one type of genre such as painting or sculpture, the Saatchi Gallery combines all of these. In addition, this on-line gallery features exhibitions from chosen artists and features certain mediums to explore in depth. Art from certain countries and time periods are also featured on a rotating basis. Interviews and discussions with artists are also popular at this online gallery.

The interactive gallery is free to visitors and is ranked in the top 500 most popular websites. The site encourages students to log on and has several partnerships with local schools.

For those who can make it to London, the standing Saatchi Art Gallery is a must see. Its new 70,000 square foot expansion will make it possible to feature new exhibits. Overall, the Saatchi Art Galleries make it easy for anyone to become well-versed in various forms of art.
