Ahead of the entrance are the existing galleries - built in the 1930s - which have a logical sequence of main exhibition spaces with rooms off to the side.

The acquisition of this treasure trove of Bacon's source materials - books, photographs, letters, as well as brushes, paint pots and other tools of the painter's trade - is a coup for the gallery which intends to reconstruct the studio as a permanent exhibit.
