With the Ferens Gallery being run by the local council very little input is being made about information for such a great places. You can only get the basic facts such as opening times and a very brief statement about exhibitions which is unfortunate on the council website. The best thing to do is either call the gallery, however the best (may resort to the only option) is to just go to the gallery and hope for the best. Sorry can’t give you better information but that’s how it is with council run galleries and museums
