GUIDED tours of important arts and ceramic collection are being held at Bangor University.

They run from February to April. Professor Helen Wilcox, from the School of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, leads the March event which includes readings of poetry relevant to the paintings and new poetry.

The tours take in the art and ceramics on the university’s Council Chamber corridor and a mural by Edward Povey in Powis Hall.

They also offer a chance to learn about works of art by renowned artists such as Kyffin Williams, Brenda Chamberlain, Peter Prendergast and Frederick William Hayes.

The tours are part of a joint venture between Gwynedd Council and Bangor University to increase access to Bangor University’s museum collections.

The tours go from the Main Arts Building foyer, College Road at 11am, on Saturday, February 15, March 7 and April 18.
