New Jewellery Gallery

About

mima has an outstanding collection of contemporary jewellery, one of the finest publicly-owned jewellery collections in the UK, to rival those of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Galleries of Scotland. Featuring beautiful, provocative and fascinating pieces, the collection has not previously been on permanent display. That is set to change. mima and Teesside University, in a joint project, are currently converting a space that was previously a storeroom into a purpose-built gallery for the collection. As well as the exciting new display and accompanying education and events programmes, mima and Teesside University have appointed two jewellers in residence, Janet Hinchliffe McCutcheon and Gemma Draper, who will be leading masterclasses and workshops. For updates on the progress of the building project, linked events and workshops, see www.visitmima.com/jewellery. A joint project with Teesside University, with funding from Arts Council England.
