The Box venue information
The Box originally opened in autumn 2020 and was able to welcome more than 30,000 visitors before closing in response to the global pandemic. Its already becoming renowned for its engaging exhibition programme, which integrates the contemporary and the historic and brings the past to life through the present. The Box showcases international visual arts and media, as well as Plymouth’s rich heritage through ambitious touring exhibitions, new commissions and the city’s permanent collections.
At the heart of The Box’s ethos is the conservation, heritage and preservation of Plymouth’s rich history and heritage. The venue brings together six outstanding national collections in a new and sustainable home, including objects from Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, archives from the Plymouth and West Devon Record Office and film and photographs from the South West Film and Television Archive and the South West Image Bank. This rich blend of collections enables the stories of international and local significance to be told through immersive experiences and amazing objects.
Proudly led by Plymouth City Council, The Box is a partnership with the University of Plymouth, the South West Film and Television Archive, the South West Image Bank and the National Museum of the Royal Navy. Major funders of The Box include Plymouth City Council, National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England.
