How large is the Ben Uri Collection and what is on display?
The collection consists of nearly 1300 artworks. Sadly, the collection sits in a museum storage facility due to the limited space available at the museum's current location. You can browse some 400 images from the permanent collection in the online gallery in Collection and data is available on all works.
