A unique collection
The Ben Uri Collection is the most distinguished body of work by artists of European Jewish descent in the world.
Our collection of nearly 1300 works by around 390 artists of primarily Jewish origin is a unique visual survey of Jewish artistic and social life. Our aim is to always exhibit and explore this collection within the context of mainstream art, culture and history. Find out About the collection.
A hidden treasure
Because our temporary gallery is too small to display the entire Ben Uri Collection, it is currently in storage - hidden from the public. We need to find a new central London gallery that is large enough to exhibit the whole collection. Can you help us to find a new home? Support us now.
