Caring for collections is one of the most important responsibilities of museums. Behind the scenes, MAGNT is always undertaking work to improve the way our collections are stored and protected. Collection Lab houses paintings and prints which have been temporarily moved from our art collection store to ensure their safety while building maintenance work is undertaken.

Attend one of our curatorial talks for further insights into the artworks on show and how they connect to others in the space.
