Poetry in the Galleries: Modern Art

With Oxfordshire poets

Poets from Oxford and surrounding areas will explore and celebrate the Museum’s pieces, renowned or recherche, intriguing or glorious and newly-acquired artworks.

Poems will be recited next to the objects and artworks that inspired the poets. If you want to talk to the poets, most of us are friendly!

The February tour will be inside the Modern Art Gallery on the third floor. This gallery features paintings and sculptures showing the diversity of 20th-century art: from expressive paintings of human figures, to abstracted still lifes and entirely abstract compositions of colours and forms.
