The Ben Uri Gallery & Museum is a registered museum and charity based in St. John's Wood, London. Founded in 1915, it initially focused on supporting and showcasing Jewish immigrant artists who faced obstacles in accessing mainstream art societies. Over time, its remit has expanded significantly. Today, Ben Uri's core mission is to celebrate, research, and record the richly diverse Jewish, refugee, and wider immigrant contribution to British visual culture since 1900. |
