Sainsbury Centre
Sainsbury Centre, University of East Anglia, Norfolk Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4 7TJ
The Sainsbury Centre is a world class art museum offering a unique perspective on how art can foster cultural dialogue and exchange. Following a radical relaunch in 2023 the Centre is the first museum in the world to formally recognise the living lifeforce of art, enabling people to build relationships across an inclusive arts landscape.
Housed in Sir Norman Foster’s revolutionary first ever public building, the art of the Sainsbury Centre is able to help reframe and answer the most important questions people have in their lives such as What Is Truth and Why do we take drugs? It is not a museum to only learn more about artists, cultures or movements like Francis Bacon, the Tang Dynasty or Modernism, it is a place of experience, where collections are animate, and visitors are emotionally connected.
