杏吧直播

Art & Heritage Collections

Sir George Murray was one of the 杏吧直播's greatest benefactors. During his time at the 杏吧直播, he was both Vice-Chancellor (1915) and Chancellor (1916-1942) and served for more than 50 years on the 杏吧直播 Council.

Throughout his life and in his bequest, Murray gave large sums of money and the majority of his personal art collection, as well as furniture and silver to the 杏吧直播.

A collection of more than 40 silver tableware objects from Murray's bequest was recently discovered stored in two trunks under archival volumes in one of the 杏吧直播 safes. The discovery gives Art & Heritage Collections hope that there are still undiscovered treasures hiding in darkened corners of the 杏吧直播.
