Zaha Hadid Foundation announces plans for museum and gallery

Zaha Hadid

Late architect’s work to be showcased in permanent venues

The Zaha Hadid Foundation has announced plans to create a permanent gallery, museum and study centre in central London six years after its founder’s sudden death.

They will house a collection of 10,000 works by or relating to Zaha Hadid, from paintings and models to jewellery and furniture, and will also contain offices from which a programme of research, events and educational bursaries will be organised.

The new facilities will be in two locations – the former Design Museum at Shad Thames and Bowling Green Lane, Clerkenwell, which was until last year the headquarters of the practice founded by Zaha Hadid in 1979. ZHA moved to nearby Goswell Road in the summer, saying the Victorian school building was not suitable for post-pandemic working practices.
