Modern Art Oxford
About
Modern Art Oxford is one of the most important contemporary art spaces outside London — a large, light gallery in a converted brewery on Pembroke Street that has been showing cutting-edge visual art since 1965. The exhibitions change regularly and feature major international artists alongside emerging talent. The programming is ambitious, challenging, and consistently excellent. The building has been beautifully adapted — high ceilings, white walls, and natural light create superb gallery spaces. The bookshop is one of the best art bookshops in the country. The café is a popular meeting spot for Oxford's creative community. It's free, central, and genuinely world-class. Exhibitions typically run for several months, so check the website before you visit. The gallery also runs talks, workshops, and events throughout the year. If you're interested in contemporary art, this is the place in Oxford — it punches well above the weight of a regional gallery and deserves to be better known nationally.
