Living Art: Six Ways to Enjoy This Unique Experience
This display dramatically reimagines how we can revitalise the cross-cultural conversations that were established at the foundation of the Sainsbury Centre in the 1970s.
Become an Artwork
You can now become a work of art in our collection display known as the Living Area. Stand in a glass box to feel what it’s like to be trapped in a museum case and be gazed upon by iconic works from the collection.
Diego Seated
Alberto Giacometti’s Diego Seated suspends from the ceiling above a reclining chair, where visitors are invited to lay back and share a personal secret into the painting, perhaps one they may not tell another human being.
SoundEscapes
Meet art like never before. SoundEscapes is a new project connecting art and music and is set to help bring our collection to life.
