September at the Sainsbury Centre

Unwind and explore at the Sainsbury Centre! We have something for everyone.

We have something for everyone at the Sainsbury Centre, with world-class exhibitions, interactive activities, and our beautiful sculpture park to discover.

There is no single way that you should be told to enjoy art. Wander through the gallery at your own pace, let your curiosity be your guide, and discover what resonates with you.

Enhance your self-guided adventure using the Smartify app. It offers insightful audio commentary and enriches your understanding of the collection.
