Tours of Bangor University’s art and ceramic collections
Guided tours of Bangor University’s Art and Ceramic Collections will be held February to April. The aim is to raise awareness of these important collections, with highlights including a mural by Edward Povey in Powis Hall, art and ceramics in the University’s Council Chamber Corridor and a chance to see and learn about works of arts by other renowned artists such as Kyffin Williams, Brenda Chamberlain, Peter Prendergast and Frederick William Hayes.
The tour in March will be led by Dr Sue Niebrzydowski and Prof Helen Wilcox from the School of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics and will include readings of poetry relevant to the paintings as well as new poetry.
The guided tours are part of a joint venture between Gwynedd Council and Bangor University to increase access to Bangor University’s museum collections. This will offer local residents and visitors a chance to enjoy and learn about the vast variety of objects on display.
The guided tours will start from the foyer of the Main Arts Building, College Road, Bangor on Saturdays 16th February, 23rd March and 13th April 11.00am-12.30pm.
