Small but neatly formed Oxford's modern art museum provides themed exhibitions and showcases emerging young talent. Its not a huge space so don't expect to be there more than 30-45 minutes but what's there is always something interesting to see.
This place is free to visit but I only need to spend around 30 mins here. Just two large exhibition spaces with a couple of small rooms in between.
Currently one of the large exhibition spaces showcases an art installation by Mariana Castillo Deball. The second large space explores themes inspired by the Coronavirus pandemic, in particular what it means to breathe.
This is just a review of the Cafe as I did not visit the gallery on this occasion, although I have seen some very interesting exhibits there in past years.
The cafe has excellent coffee and you might like to try the home-made brownies. However, the hot food is a bit disappointing. Not a wide choice and it is warmed up in a micro-wave for you. And 'warm' is the operative word - it's not hot.
Small museum near the west gate shopping center. Free entry. During my visit they featured sculptures, tapestry and prints from one artist. Art is displayed with good lighting and text that accompany the art are informative. They also offer workshop and have a small shop and large cafe.
A must visit when going to Oxford. Have always taken my kids there from age 4 or 5. You can always see something cool, interesting, thought provoking, generally provocative etc. Cafe is good; a flat white and a cheese and leek toastie will absolutely sort you out. Lovely arty vibes and shop has loads of local niche pieces. One of my favourite corners of Oxford. It's free to enter but I'm telling you to donate. Do it! :)
