The University Art Collection exists to collect, care for, interpret and make accessible works of art as a significant resource for teaching, research and exhibition. It also exists to increase the enjoyment and enrichment of the University environment for students, staff, and the general public.

We now renew this as our mission, committing the Art Collection and its resources to strive to be relevant to all people and to the widest range of stakeholders. Supporting everyone to engage with our collections, expertise and knowledge; we will also offer and deliver opportunities for participation that empower and inspire learning and deepen engagement with the arts.
