This exhibition celebrates 500 years since the foundation of Cardinal College and is a unique opportunity to see some of Christ Church’s oldest and rarest items along with items generously lent by other institutions including a beautiful manuscript Book of Hours which is said to have belonged to Wolsey himself. 

Professor Andy Beeby (Durham University) and Professor Richard Gameson (Durham University) will talk about the scientific identification of the pigments used in a pair of beautiful illuminated manuscripts produced for Cardinal Wolsey. 

Both manuscripts be on display together for this very special event.
