This landmark venue will host an internationally important programme of exhibitions, presenting the very best of art and craft from 1900 to the present day. It will bring together the town’s art and craft collections for the first time. mima will include formal and open gallery spaces, an education suite, auditorium, cafe-bar, roof terrace and conservation studio. Work on site began in July 2004. Once the gallery opens to the public in 2006, it will be re-hung four times each year, presenting a different combination of temporary exhibitions and varied displays from our permanent collection. The gallery has been designed by leading international architecture practice, Erick van Egeraat Associated Architects.
