Brunei Gallery

The West End


Part of the University of London's School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS), this gallery features permanent displays and exhibitions of art from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Head upstairs and you’ll find a tranquil, Japanese-inspired roof garden. If you visit on a weekday, there’s a good chance you’ll have the whole place to yourself.
