Victoria Miro is a contemporary art gallery at 16 Wharf Road in north London. Victoria Miro first opened her gallery on Cork Street in Mayfair in 1985, and in 2000 she moved it to its present premises, a restored former furniture factory.
Glenn Scott Wright joined her as a partner in 1996, followed by Oliver Miro in 2011. The gallery represents more than 40 artists from around the world, supporting them from the early stages of their careers through to the management of their estates.
Two galleries and a garden
In 2006 the gallery opened a second exhibition and private viewing space in an adjoining building, linked to the first by a waterside sculpture garden. Victoria Miro describes the site as one of the largest commercial gallery spaces in London. Exhibitions are free to visit, Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and the nearest Tube stations are Angel and Old Street.
Recent exhibitions
From 5 June to 31 July 2026 Gallery I showed High Seas; Closed Skies, the gallery’s first exhibition with the New York-based artist Shahzia Sikander since it announced her representation. At its centre was 3 to 12 Nautical Miles, an animation made from hand-painted images that follows the currents of power and trade from the nineteenth century to the present.
This autumn Gallery II presents Send in the Clowns, new paintings by Khalif Tahir Thompson, from 8 October to 7 November, while Hernan Bas shows new paintings in TIME TO SHINE! (the salesmen) in Gallery I until 14 November.
Venice
In 2017 the gallery opened a third location in Venice, at San Marco 1994, between Teatro La Fenice and Piazza San Marco, where it also runs a studio for artists to spend extended time making new work. In 2025 it launched LIVE / ARCHIVE, a platform led by Oliver Miro that presents its exhibitions and archive in 3D, AR and VR.
