Salon is a Tumblr gallery theme with high-resolution images arranged in a grid and captions treated as wall labels. It suits artists, photographers, collectors, curators and cultural organisations presenting visual collections. The layout takes its cues from museum salon walls, arranging images like collected works. Bodoni Moda and Hanken Grotesk pair expressive headings with clear supporting text for an art-history feel. You can customise the wall and label colours, switch to Dark Room or One Work Per Row, and add Gallery Hours text.

This custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web supports all Tumblr post types. Reblog trails and tags are included, as are search and pages. Readers can also use an ask box. Choose Wall and Text colours, then adjust Accent and Label Grey. Toggle Dark Room or One Work Per Row. A text field lets you add your own Gallery Hours.
