About

Visitors to the Len Lye Centre are able to move between it and the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, and gain a sense of both the life, work and significance of Len Lye alongside the Govett-Brewster’s contemporary art exhibitions and events.

The Centre features exhibitions of Lye’s work, spanning sculptures, films, paintings and photographs – alongside historical and contemporary works and items to give visitors a rich understanding of his unique story. A state-of-the-art Len Lye Centre Cinema regularly screens Lye’s film works and documentaries of his life and work alongside exhibition and general art-house programming, while the Todd Energy Learning Centre offers school, after-school, family and lifelong learning classes to put Len’s ideas into practice.
