Exhibitions

The College maintains a regular series of physical exhibitions in both the Old Library and Longwall Library which are curated by affiliated academic staff and fellows, the library and archives team, and other members of the College. Since 2016, our Old Library exhibitions have been converted to online exhibitions for the permanent enjoyment of all.

The exhibition will be open next on Wednesday 7th January 2026, 2-4:30pm
