The great thing about Sainsbury Centre is that it is free. It is a little way out of Norwich on the University campus. It has a great collection and frequent exhibitions. The building itself is a bit like an aircraft hangar from the outside but has won prizes and works well as a gallery. There is a good snack bar... More

SCVA is currently undergoing re-development (due to finish in September 2013), so some of the collection is not on display but it is still worth visiting. There is an amazing eclectic collection here on the campus of UEA. We got the impression from one of the staff that entry may no longer be free once the re-development is finished.

This collection is well displayed with short descriptions - just right for parents visiting with children. The staff are helpful if you want more information and there is plenty of room between exhibits. The café is another wonderful space lokking out to the garden, and there is always an interesting display to view while enjoying a tea or coffee. Best... More

Beautifully presented in a modern building (designed by Norman Foster) on the UEA campus. Light and airy, the building itself is worth closer inspection. And ... I mean this... More

A remarkable art collection in a beaufiful setting, tucked away on the UEA campus. The current exhibition of Art nouveau and art deco is tremendous. As a bonus it is free (you might have to pay to park) and the cafe is one of the best I have been to.

We found the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts last year when visiting the city of Norwich. Tucked away amongst the University of East Anglia complex, it can be seen as hard to find, but its well worth it. The building itself, designed by Norman Foster (also Stansted Airport) is visually attractive. The collection of world art and artifacts that Sir... More
