Sainsbury Collection Highlights

The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts Collection Highlights app allows users to view and discover some of what the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts has to offer.

The app features images, descriptions and videos of the collection.

The Sainsbury Centre is one of around a hundred university museums in the UK which are regularly open to the public. Sir Robert (1906 – 2000) and Lady Sainsbury (1912 - 2014) donated their collection of world art to the University of East Anglia in 1973 and the Sainsbury Centre first opened its doors to visitors in 1978. It was the Sainsburys’ hope that students, academic staff and the general public would grow to appreciate the works on display in much the same way as they themselves had done, by being able to look frequently and closely at them without the distraction of too much museum-style text and labelling.
