Margate Sky Live Feed
The view from Turner Contemporary's windows looks out over the horizon and often frames mesmerizing sunsets. Whilst we are closed, we are installing a live camera so that audiences around the world can be inspired by the sea and sky, wherever they are. The live feed will run 24 hours a day for one week via this webpage.
For centuries artists have been inspired by Margate’s sea and skies. From JMW Turner to Tracey Emin, they have been long revered and are now an Instagram sensation.
