The Library has become the permanent home of the Museum of Modern Art Oxford Collection. The Museum of Modern Art Oxford became Modern Art Oxford in 2002.
The Collection consists of some book material but principally of a very significant collection of exhibition catalogues from galleries world wide. The coverage of the Collection is primarily of post-1960s art but items covering earlier periods in the history of art are also included.
The exhibition catalogues are currently being catalogued and added to LibrarySearch. Catalogued material can be found at the start of the Collection in the mobile shelving in Zone C on Level 3. Uncatalogued material is arranged in two separate sequences. In the first sequence the catalogues are arranged alphabetically by country. In the second the catalogues are arranged alphabetically by artist.
The Collection is available for reference use only.
