We look forward to welcoming you back

Modern Art Oxford is reopening on 11 August and we can't wait to welcome you back to the gallery. We have extended our spring exhibition Johanna Unzueta: Tools for Life for a limited two week run.

We have been working hard to ensure that everyone has a safe and rewarding visit. As such, all visitors now need to book a free ticket in advance of visiting to help us manage the number of people in the gallery and limit queuing.

The gallery will close again from 24 August to get our spaces ready for our new autumn exhibition Mariana Castillo Deball: Between Making and Knowing Somethin g which will open on 2 October.
