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 exhibition is 'Jyll Bradley: Running and Returning', a major show that features photography, film, sculpture and public art (until 2 November 2025). From 4 October 2025, 'Remember Respond Resist' (part of the UK/Poland Season 2025) will explore memory, conflict and activism and features the work of 23 different 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.
