About this audio guide
This guide to Modern Art Oxford follows the people who have worked inside one Victorian building on Pembroke Street, from the brewers of Hanley's City Brewery to the architect Trevor Green, who had an idea for a museum in the nineteen sixties. You'll hear how a gallery with no collection and almost no staff got started, and meet Barry Lane, the director who never quite took the title. Best heard on Pembroke Street, looking up at the old brewery front.
