MK Gallery (also 'Milton Keynes Gallery' or 'MK G'[1]) is the municipal art gallery of Milton Keynes,[2][3] a city in Buckinghamshire about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of London. The gallery was extended and remodelled in 2018/19 and includes an art-house cinema.[4][5] It does not have a permanent collection.
The gallery was founded in 1999 under the management of the Milton Keynes Theatre and Gallery Company.[2]
The Gallery partially closed from 2015 to 2019 for a substantial expansion and renovation.[4][6] The building now has five exhibition galleries, an auditorium/cinema and a studio.[7]
