The Middlesbrough Collection, housed by Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, encompasses art and craft from the mid-1800s to the present day. Its strengths are post–Second World War British painting, American contemporary drawing, twentieth-century British ceramics, European contemporary jewellery, and international contemporary installation. The basis of the Middlesbrough Collection are works inherited from the Middlesbrough Art Gallery, the Cleveland Gallery and the Cleveland Craft Centre, and works added by Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art since its opening in 2007.
