Viewing Rooms: 1967

Viewing Rooms is a regular series of events run by the University of Stirling Art Collection, where we open up our store to show you works that are not currently on display. 

Art Collection at the University of Stirling holds around 900 works of art and as with any museum or gallery, we can only display a portion of these works at any one time.

The Art Collection is a public collection, meaning that these works belong to the public (you!) and we are determined to have as much on display as we can! Viewing Rooms allows us to get works out of our store for anyone to pop by and see.

1967

This month, our chosen focus is the very first works that were purchased for the University, during its first year 1967. Our first Principal Dr Tom Cotrell believed that art and culture should be a part of the everyday experience in the University and as such instructed our first curator that there must be art. 

Pop by to learn the story of our unique collection and see work by artists such as Alan Davie, Patrick Heron and Michael Tyzack.
