Welcome to the Brunei Gallery - SOAS
The Brunei Gallery is an exciting venue situated in the heart of London. Located between Malet Street and Thornhaugh Street in the North West corner of Russell Square. It is only a three minute walk from the British Museum and is opposite the main entrance to the School of Oriental and African Studies building.
The Galleries, within The Brunei Gallery building, host a programme of changing exhibitions that reflect subjects and regions studied at the School. They are both a student resource and a public facility, being part of the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London), Europe's leading centre for the study of Asia and Africa.
We are dedicated to showing work of and from Asia and Africa, of both a historical and contemporary nature. This is as part of the Gallery's aim to present and promote cultures from these regions.
