# How to Add Explore Our Gallery to the Studio Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/studio/add-explore-our-gallery/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Showcase your products, brand moments, and customer favorites in a stylish grid layout. Our gallery brings your store to life with visuals that inspire and engage shoppers. This guide shows how to add the Explore Our Gallery section to the Studio theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Studio's code. Studio is a free theme by Shopify, known for gallery grids and art-forward presentation — and image with text like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Explore Our Gallery fits Studio

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. For Studio specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: limited social-proof options, and Explore Our Gallery fills that gap while inheriting Studio's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. The polaroid-style gallery section gives Studio stores a personal, behind-the-scenes feel stock grids can’t.

## Steps

1. **Install Section Shop (free)** — Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Studio setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Explore Our Gallery” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Studio theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Studio uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Studio theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Explore Our Gallery” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Studio font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Explore Our Gallery work with the Studio theme?

Yes. Studio is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Explore Our Gallery installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Studio's theme editor as “SShop:Explore Our Gallery”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Explore Our Gallery match Studio's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Studio's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Explore Our Gallery free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Explore Our Gallery is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Studio theme and keeps working.
