Artscape: the juxtaposition of art, architecture and landscape AM

The Grade II surroundings of Murray Edwards College (Chamberlain, Powell & Bon, 1960) are home to award winning gardens, an internationally acclaimed art collection and a bountiful archive & library amongst and within the celebrated Brutalist architecture. 

This tour will introduce you to the New Hall Art Collection, the largest collection of works by women in Europe, and our gardens, the original grounds of The Orchard, a large house part-owned by Norah Barlow, granddaughter of Charles Darwin and a distinguished plantswoman. The tour will start and finish with tea in the Rosemary Murray Library where the Librarian will introduce you to the college, and hand you over to the Art Curator and Gardener for the tour.
