Modern Art Oxford, Independent art museum in central Oxford, England.
Modern Art Oxford occupies a former brewery building on Pembroke Street with multiple exhibition spaces spread across several floors. The building houses rooms displaying contemporary artworks, photography, and various artistic formats.
The gallery opened in 1965 as the Museum of Modern Art Oxford and was renamed Modern Art Oxford in 2002. This name change reflected a stronger focus on contemporary artistic practices and exhibitions.
The gallery presents works by international artists and experimental installations that engage with contemporary social issues. Visitors encounter photography and art forms that reflect current questions affecting society today.
Entry is free, and the building is open Tuesday through Sunday with extended hours on Thursday evenings. Plan to spend enough time exploring multiple floors, especially if you want to see all the exhibitions.
The museum features a dedicated art studio space where visitors can actively participate and conduct artistic experiments. These areas offer the chance to try hands-on work and explore creative techniques yourself.
