centenary programme / The Guide

The Guide, a pocket book to the Contemporary Art Society’s sixty-three Member Museums, enables the reader to navigate England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland through their public collections of modern and contemporary art.

The Contemporary Art Society’s Guide draws together
information on the majority of public collections of modern and contemporary art held by museums and galleries across the UK.

Developed as a ‘pocket book’, The Guide gives brief details of the many and varied collections, offering a glimpse that we hope will inspire you to explore further. The public institutions included in The Guide are members of the Contemporary Art Society. All have acquisition policies and strategies through which they continue to develop their collections.

The Contemporary Art Society was formally constituted 100 years ago in May 1910; to mark this anniversary, The Guide was published on 9 April 2010.
