The Young Gallery is a free art museum in the centre of Salisbury. Housed on the first floor of Salisbury Library, the Gallery holds a collection of over 4000 objects, including paintings, prints. sculpture, books and photography. The collection began with over 300 watercolour paintings showing scenes of Salisbury and the surrounding area by Edwin Young (the namesake of the Gallery). To compliment this collection, a growing number of watercolours by artists of different periods have since been acquired. Additionally, 2,000 books in over 20 languages, as well as manuscripts, designs for book jackets, and ephemera relating to the crime and thriller writer John Creasey became part of the collection in the 1970s. The collection has since grown to contain a diverse collection of artwork and prints. It contains many works by Robin Tanner, Edgar Barclay and William Goldsmith, as well as prints by J M W Turner, John Constable, David Hockney and Henry Moore. All exhibitions are free to visit.
