Christchurch Picture Gallery
Christchurch, one of Oxford's most renowned university colleges,
possesses an important collection of about 300 paintings and 2,000
drawings, mainly by the Italian masters. Works by Leonardo,
Michelangelo, Raphael and Rubens are to be seen here, along with
examples from Van Dyck, Frans Hals and Hugo van der Goes. The
entire collection cannot be displayed at one time because of space
constraints, but the exhibition changes every few months. There are
also displays of 18th-century glass and Russian icons.
