Fourth Plinth: Contemporary Monument

Since 1999, the 'empty' Northwest plinth in Trafalgar Square, London has been home to some of the world's best contemporary art. This exhibition brings together a wide range of historical material including a display of commissioned maquettes made by some of the most celebrated artists working today.

The Fourth Plinth brings out the art critic in everyone. This exhibition traces the myriad responses to the commissions through media clippings, public comments, and archive material. You are invited to explore the development of the Fourth Plinth programme from its inception to its current status as a world class art commission.

In partnership with the Mayor of London
