TREASURES TOURS

Treasures tours allow visitors to see highlights from parts of our collections which are not normally on public display. Led by the Museum and Collections Manager, visitors will explore the College’s art gallery and original museum, ‘Musā’, where oil paintings, watercolours, and tapestries are on show. We also visit part of the Fellows’ Library, where there is a changing display of rare books and manuscripts, prints, and drawings.
