Plan Your Visit
As well as featuring regularly in our university museums programmes and our festival programme, the art collection is on display in buildings around the University campus.
Outdoor art gallery
The outdoor gallery is new for winter 2022 and will be developed during 2023. Located in Library Square, in front of the Bill Bryson Library, this new gallery is open to everyone all the time. Our first exhibition is Photographing Tutankhamun.
Palatine Centre
The displays in the Palatine Centre include artworks that investigate differing notions of printmaking by artists. The Palatine Centre is also the location of our annual Durham University Student Art Prize exhibition. Entrance is free of charge, and you do not need to book in advance. The Palatine Centre has a café and toilet facilities, but no dedicated public car park.
The address is:

Art tours, talks and research visits of the collection are available on request and where possible. For further information, contact art.collection@durham.ac.uk.
