The University of Birmingham Research and Cultural Collections is a cornucopia of extraordinary artefacts, from West African masks in the Danford Collection, to important twentieth century paintings such as Peter Lanyon’s mural in the Arts Building. The University owns, displays and teaches from groups of objects within seven distinct collections, these variously play ceremonial, commemorative, decorative and didactic roles in university life.
Images of objects from the Danford Collection of West African Art and Artefacts will feature in 'Black History in the Round', an exhibition that forms part of a programme of events on campus for Black History month.
