The Collection (fine art, ceramics, jewellery)

mima brings together Middlesbrough’s art collections for the first time. The mima collection comprises outstanding fine and applied art from 1900 to the present day, with many pieces acquired by mima’s forerunners Middlesbrough Art Gallery and the Cleveland Craft Centre.

Work from the collection will not be on permanent display but will be drawn upon throughout the exhibition programme. This will give curators the opportunity to demonstrate the artistic quality of works acquired as well as constantly re-inventing the way in which works are presented.
