  • History

    Silent Gallery was founded in 1978 by visionary art enthusiast, Emily Davis.

Over the years, the museum has grown to showcase a remarkable collection of paintings, sculptures, installations, and more. Silent Gallery continues to be a haven for art lovers seeking an immersive and introspective experience.
