Where can I see the Collection?
While most of the Collection is displayed in government buildings around the world, we also frequently loan works to museums and galleries for exhibitions. Works from the Collection have also been displayed in schools, libraries, shopping centres, sports venues and even a reptile shop! Find out where you can see works from the Government Art Collection that have been loaned to museums and galleries on the map. You can also explore more of the Collection online or discover the partnership projects that bring our artworks to local audiences. In 2025, don't miss out on our brand new exhibitions in Bradford and London.
