About
Art & Heritage Collections
Showcasing and stewarding artworks and artefacts which reflect the history and achievements of RGU.
RGU Art & Heritage Collections invites you to explore artworks and artefacts that reflect the history and achievements of RGU. The University holds a fascinating mix of historical objects and contemporary art, offering staff, students, researchers and visitors an enjoyable way to connect with our story - and to spark learning and research through real objects and images.
We collect and safeguard RGU’s history, preserving it through collections care and conservation so it can be enjoyed now and in the future. We share the collections through loans, displays and exhibitions, and we engage our community and the public through visits and events.
To find out more, explore the collection online and follow connections between objects and themes. You can also book an appointment to view or study items in person, or contact collections@rgu.ac.ukcollections@rgu.ac.uk with enquiries and visit requests.
The Art & Heritage Collections are an important record of the creative output of RGU’s students, alumni and educators and of methods of teaching and study in the North East of Scotland.
