Institute of Contemporary Arts, Art museum and cultural center in Westminster, London, England
The Institute of Contemporary Arts occupies Nash House on The Mall, featuring two cinemas, galleries, a theater, and educational spaces across multiple floors.
In 1947, Roland Penrose, Peter Watson, and Herbert Read established the Institute of Contemporary Arts to provide an alternative platform to the traditional Royal Academy.
The Institute presents experimental films, performance art exhibitions, and contemporary installations while supporting emerging artists through residency programs and workshops.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 12:00 to 21:00, with discounted admission prices for students, seniors, and groups of more than ten people.
The Institute maintains two dedicated cinema spaces that screen independent films and experimental movies not shown in regular London theaters.
