Study day to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of artist and printmaker Muirhead Bone, with Harry Dickinson.

Join us to celebrate the work of landscape etcher Sir Muirhead Bone. Born in 1876, Bone was Britain’s first official war artist and produced more views for the Oxford Almanack than any other artist.

This special study day, led by Harry Dickinson, will explore Bone’s early years in Glasgow, his pre-First World War urban landscapes and war work, his travels in Spain and his close association with Oxford.

You will have the opportunity to see a wide range of his prints and drawings first-hand, including works from a private collection.

Unfortunately there is no step-free access to the Print Room. Bags and coats can be stored within the Print Room during this visit.
