Enjoy May Half Term at the Sainsbury Centre

Visit the Sainsbury Centre this May Half Term for fun activities and artistic inspiration for all the family.

•
Every day, you’ll find Explorer Tools to keep small hands busy and help you all to see the inhabitants of our gallery in different ways. Grab a clipboard and pencil or visit the making tables in the East End to create your own artworks.

•

Seeking something new?

Head to the exhibition galleries to take a voyage through A World of Water. Pick up a Sensational Seas map to record the things you see and feel as you explore the exhibition, and think about how your family can help look after our precious seas.
 
Over in the Living Area you can experience our SoundEscapes project. Listen to musical pieces by ten of the UK’s most exciting composers as you look at the artworks that inspired them, either through the headphones provided, or on your own device with Smartify.

Fancy a breath of fresh air?

Pick up a Pocket Map of the Sculpture Park and take a springtime stroll outdoors. Visit artworks including the newly-planted Ackroyd & Harvey’s Beuys’ Acorns, a living sculpture of oak trees. Will you see signs of spring life here, in the woods or around the UEA broad?
