One afternoon. Seven college libraries. Countless unexpected treasures.
Seven Oxford college libraries are opening their doors for a free afternoon exploring their extraordinary historic collections, from rare manuscripts and historic textiles to William Morris’s spectacles and a David Hockney doodle.
The route starts at Lincoln College, home to a collection of over 500 17th- and 18th-century libretti and play texts, largely from the library of an 18th-century Fellow who clearly had a passion for the stage.
From Lincoln, you can collect your map and then visit the other libraries in any order.
