Welcome inside Nottingham Contemporary
Be one of the first to see round our beautiful building, courtesy of our new slide show. Photographer Andy Taylor Smith has captured the sheer scale of our huge galleries, and our charismatic performance space.

Our architects Caruso St John were inspired by the warehouse spaces of 60s New York and 90s Berlin, both colonised by artists. They were also influenced by the industrial architecture of the Lace Market itself, echoed in the cherry blossom lace pattern, created in Nottingham in 1847, on the etched panels on the outside of our building.
