The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery

The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery offers innovative art exhibitions from the University Art Collection and displays treasures from the Leeds University Library Special Collections.

The University's exceptional art collection includes stunning examples of European and British painting, drawings, and prints from the 17th century to the present day, as well as small collections of sculpture, ceramics, miniatures, and photographs.

The Gallery also offers a lively programme of public events, including talks, craft workshops, and exhibition receptions.

You can buy programmes and books related to exhibitions from the online shop.
