Borough Road Gallery, Art museum in Borough Road, London, England
Borough Road Gallery is an art museum within London South Bank University that focuses on British artworks from the 20th century. The collection includes paintings and art objects from artists who worked in London and developed new artistic directions.
The museum opened in 2012 to make a private art collection publicly available after decades of gathering by a single collector. The focus is on artistic developments that began in the years immediately following World War II.
The space holds works by artists who shaped British art movements after World War II through their experimental approaches. You can see how these pieces reflect the creative thinking of that generation.
Visiting works best on weekday afternoons or Saturdays when the gallery maintains its regular opening hours. The location near a subway station makes it straightforward to reach the space.
The collection focuses on a tight group of artists who were connected to each other and formed an artistic movement together. This close connection makes it possible to follow how their ideas developed over many years.
