We Are Back!

From Friday 21 May 2021, we are delighted to finally welcome you back, with a new solo exhibition by Oxford-based Malawian artist Samson Kambalu.

After almost five months of closure, we are excited to be reopening* with a newly decorated basement area, upgraded accessible facilities, a brand new menu in the Café, and a range of exclusive items in the Shop.

As per the government guidelines, you will need to book a FREE ticket to visit the gallery and sign in with a member of our friendly front of house team when you arrive.

We are all looking forward to having you back in central Oxford, enjoying contemporary art exhibitions, joining in with family activities, relaxing with a cup of Lavazza coffee, and browsing the unique gallery shop.
