A privilege to see the Wren Library at Trinity College as part of @OpenCambridgeUK
A beautiful space where history breathes, every book a bridge connecting us to a past that has shaped the future.

Visitors enjoyed a tour of Homerton’s new art exhibition on Saturday.
The tour, part of the @OpenCambridgeUK festival, was led by our Art Curator, Eddie Ade Akin.
The exhibition includes an art collection by Coqué Martínez, a radical Basque painter who was evacuated from Bilbao to Britain (along with 4,000 other children) during the Spanish Civil War.
Visitors also saw several exhibits paying homage to Dame Leah Manning, who trained as a teacher at Homerton in the 1900s.
Her most lasting legacy is her effort to secure the evacuation of those children to safety.
Manning, a lifelong champion of causes affecting women and children, advocated for women’s rights, birth control, and equal pay, and later became the first woman Labour MP.
The 'Echoes and Arrivals' exhibition will remain at Homerton for all students, staff, Fellows, and visitors to see.

We had a wonderful time welcoming over 200 visitors to a 'behind the scenes' look at the Watson Building Stones Collection on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who came to visit us as part of @OpenCambridgeUK. #OpenCambridge #Geology #BuildingStones
ALT A Sedgwick Museum volunteer is giving an introductory talk to two visitors in the Watson Gallery. Stones used for paving and road making can be seen in the background, displayed in original Edwardian display cases.
ALT A close-up image of one of the display cases, showing a ‘Clipsham Stone’. A label beneath this specimen notes that the bear statues at the base of the Museum, King’s College Chapel, and Pembroke College New Chapel are all made from this stone.
ALT A Sedgwick Museum volunteer and a visitor are looking at a table elaborately decorated with slices of Devonshire marble. The colours of the different marbles range from pink to green to almost black.
ALT Three visitors to the Museum are inspecting some of the Jurassic and Cretaceous building stones in the collection. The stones are all shaped into equal sized cubes and displayed in their original, bespoke Edwardian display cases.
