We are proud to be part of our wonderful city and look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful campus where you can explore our buildings, collections, exhibitions and enjoy one of our many cafés on campus.

This year we are offering a range of specifically organised tours and talks for you to enjoy.  Come along and make a day out of it, listen to our amazing Director of Art, see Larkin’s office and enjoy a campus tour.
