One of England’s greatest art galleries is set for a £90 million transformation

The Sainsbury Centre in Norwich, one of England's greatest art galleries, has received a £91.2 million donation from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, created by David Sainsbury. The funds will finance a major refurbishment of the Grade II-listed building, originally designed by Norman Foster in 1978, including structural repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and enhanced visitor amenities. The centre houses a renowned collection featuring works by Picasso, Degas, Bacon, Moore, and Lalique.

Sainsbury Centre receives one of largest ever UK museum donations

The Sainsbury Centre, an art museum in Norwich, England, has received a £91.2 million donation from British politician and businessman David Sainsbury through his charitable foundation, Gatsby. The funds will be used to renovate the grade II* listed building, originally designed by Norman Foster and completed in 1978. The renovation, led by Foster + Partners, includes improvements to the building envelope, photovoltaic panels, and upgraded visitor facilities, aiming to halve the museum's energy use and support the University of East Anglia's net zero campus goal by 2045.
