The Sainsbury Institute for Art (SIfA) is based in the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. [1] It is an umbrella organization that brings together the activities and expertise of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, the School of World Art Studies and Museology (WAM), the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures (SISJAC) and the Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas (SRU).
"The Institute works to develop an integrated approach to art as a global phenomenon through a combination of disciplinary approaches, exhibitions and programming".[2]
SIfA was officially opened on 16 November 2011. Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, gave the inaugural lecture. The institute's study area was designed by Foster and Partners.[3]
