Our Main Galleries are currently closed while we install our new exhibition Lungiswa Gqunta: Sleep in Witness, which opens on Friday 8 July 2022. The smaller Gallery 4 is now open with Archive Lives Part 2: Documenting Women's Sculptural Practices in Britain, 1963-1993 until 25 September 2022. The Sculpture Research Library is open as usual and Archive of Sculptors' Papers by appointment only.

Booking tickets to visit our galleries is not necessary. You can book in advance to visit the Sculpture Research Library if you want to ensure a space is available for you.

Upcoming events

Researching Women in Sculpture

Our latest research season provides a space to reflect upon the archival and collecting practices that have historically obscured the work of women practising in sculpture. These events will all take place in-person.

Previous events

Our past programme of online events is freely available on our website and YouTube channel. You can also subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notifications about future events.

Discover new sculptural research in our Sculpture & Poetry, Monuments and Fabrication Research Seasons, with podcasts, talks and artists' films exploring topics such as gender and sexuality, the interconnections between art, craft and industry, and comparisons between the plastic and linguistic arts.

For teachers and creatives, our Art Encounters series gives an introduction to our exhibitions, with talking points and digital worksheets, ideal for students who are learning remotely.
