About Us

Welcome to the New Hall Art Collection, a permanent collection of modern and contemporary art by women artists. Paintings, prints, and sculpture are displayed throughout the Murray Edwards College.

The Collection has come about as the result of many generous gifts and loans from artists and donors. With close to 400 contemporary artworks by women artists the New Hall Art Collection is regarded as the most significant of its kind in Europe.

The New Hall Art Collection is found within Murray Edwards College, part of the University of Cambridge.

You can also find us on Facebook and keep up to date with all our exhibitions, events and discussions!

My Favourite Work

Maryam Serajiantehrani, PhD Student

JUDITH COWAN
Nothing Lasts Forever [1989
Corten steel, stainless steel and gneiss, 160 x 150 x 110 cms
On loan from the artist.

I like this work because it was a mystery for me for a while to know what it was and what it was called. It was also interesting that once when I had about 10 guests for lunch in the college, every single friend of mine who entered the college asked "What's this thing?"!!! I like the way it attracts people's attention to its presence and invites them to know more about it. An interactive work of art!
