Take a tour behind the scenes at Modern Art Oxford and discover our former brewery building and the gallery’s nearly 60 year history.

Each year Oxford Open Doors opens historic buildings and community spaces that are not usually accessible to the public, and gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy Oxford’s rich heritage and culture for free. This year, take a tour behind the scenes at Modern Art Oxford and discover our former brewery building and the gallery’s nearly 60 year history.

Book online for the tour from 26th August 2025 at https://modernartoxford.org.uk/whats-on/oxford-open-doors. Drop in to the gallery on the day.
