Why go
The building links contemporary art with its location before you reach the galleries. Caruso St John’s green-and-gold exterior carries a traditional lace design impressed into concrete, translating a delicate textile into a solid wall. Inside, changing international exhibitions mean the experience depends on the programme rather than a permanent collection of familiar works.
What to look for
- A cherry-blossom lace pattern is impressed into the concrete facade.
- Green-and-gold surfaces distinguish Caruso St John’s building.
- Changing exhibitions bring international contemporary art into the galleries.
Useful to know
- Check the current exhibition programme before deciding how this fits into your Lace Market visit.
- Look at the patterned exterior as well as the works displayed inside.
