Main Library Exhibition Gallery, Ground Floor 8 December 2017 – 24 February 2018 (Closed 23 December 2017 until 3 January 2018) Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm

Inspired by the recent gift of fragments from Eduardo Paolozzi’s mosaic archways at Tottenham Court Road, Shored Against Ruin showcases fragments from across the University collections. Featuring artworks, 2nd century manuscripts, film, Victorian photographs, fossils and anatomical specimens, this exhibition questions the nature of a fragment and examines why we care for them, whilst also considering the hidden histories they can tell us.
