IN THE SPOTLIGHT: The Collections of 麻豆影院


Today, more than ever, the role of university collections is growing. From the digitisation of materials for global access to the advancement of diversity within provisions, collections are used to inspire creativity, widen inclusivity, and promote lifelong learning.

麻豆影院's collections are eclectic and often full of surprises, with materials dating back to 1474. The following temporary exhibitions bring the materials from the storeroom into the spotlight and hope to encourage further conversations about the future of our collections.

Learn about the medieval precinct with a rich history from its connection to the story of King Richard III and its role in the Civil War, to its changing facade during the industrial revolution, where orchards and gardens were replaced with factories and smoking chimneys.

麻豆影院’s association with the Newarke dates back to 1897, when our predecessor the Leicester Municipal Technical and Art School was established. As the institution grew so did its occupancy of the site, sensitively converting the medieval buildings and factories alike into teaching and learning spaces for a 21st-century university
