The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, one of Britain's leading galleries, is only a short journey from the centre of Norwich, on the University of East Anglia campus. In an internationally renowned building designed by Norman Foster you can discover the delights of the Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection, which was given to the University in 1973. There are now over 1200 items in the Collection, spanning thousands of years and many cultures. Alongside African masks you can see works by Picasso, Bacon and Henry Moore. Japanese scrolls rub shoulders with pottery and metalwork from Mexico and Peru. Ritual objects from ancient Egypt and North America are displayed in harmony with medieval European art and Indian miniatures. Look one way and you see Degas' 'Little Dancer'; turn around and there is Giacometti's 'Standing Woman'. All in a breathtaking building, covering some 7600 square metres.
