Sainsbury Centre and Exhibition

On Saturday 12th March at 10am we will gather at the entrance to the Sainsbury Centre at UEA. If the weather is poor there is an interesting free exhibition called “Rhythm and Geometry: Constructivist art in Britain since 1951”

As the Sainsbury Centre website shows, it is a futuristic looking building and photogenic in its own right as well as sitting within a sculpture park with many objects of interest. The UEA broad is also close by.

The building was used in Marvel’s Avengers films, this clip is short, probably for copyright reasons, but about 15 minutes at the end of the film was shot in and around the building, which became the Avengers’ headquarters.

After enjoying the exhibition and some photography, the Cafe will be open for those who would like to stay for lunch.

Handheld photography is permitted inside the Centre.

The building is on the UEA campus but is well signposted from the campus entrances. There is limited, free parking available near the Centre. It’s worth going to reception when you arrive to check if you need a free voucher for parking as it seems to vary.

Please note:
Don’t forget to check the arrangements before setting out if there has been extreme weather overnight.
