The Box

A place where heritage meets contemporary art and archives meet interaction. A museum, gallery and archive. A Kitchen & Bar. A shop. A space for research. A place that you can make your own, and where there's always something new to discover. The Box brings six outstanding collections of art, human history, natural history, film, photography and archival material together, showcased in a series of exciting spaces. Our current major exhibition is 'Remember Respond Resist', part of the UK/Poland Season 2025. The show explores memory, conflict and activism and features the work of 23 internationally acclaimed artists, including Royal Academicians Grayson Perry and Goshka Macuga (until 11 January 2026). Talks, family activities and special events are also on offer throughout the year. The Box's standard opening hours are 10am-5pm Tuesday to Sunday and selected bank holidays.
