Past Exhibitions

Our temporary exhibitions take place in the Museum of Portable Sound’s Exposition Space, which is part of our ultra-post-modern Frank Gehry® Commemorative Wing, seen above left as it appeared when it opened to the public in London on 25 March 2018, and above right in detail as it now appears in our new home in Portsmouth, UK.
