Choral evensong held on the fourth Sunday after Easter and which celebrated the coronation of King Charles III.

This exhibition showcased the work of Czech artist Jiří Kolář who worked across different media. He was a poet, writer, and translator who expanded the boundaries of modern art by deconstructing the printed image and word. In reassembling and constructing images in collage, he created often absurd commentaries on modern life and the turmoil he faced as a political dissident in Communist Czechoslovakia.

2023 marked the centenary of Cyril Fox's celebrated book The Archaeology of the Cambridge Region which was based on his Magdalene and Cambridge PhD of 1922. This seminal work introduced several innovations within archaeology, including the landscape perspective which has become a standard means of thinking and presenting the past in archaeology. In 1932 Fox wrote another important work called The Personality of Britain. Together these volumes emphasize the enduring relationship between archaeology, geography, landscape and environment.

The exhibition drew on these two volumes, alongside other materials, to look at two themes, Fox’s personality and the legacy of his research, both focused on his short, but important, Cambridge experience.
