UCL Flaxman and Octagon Galleries re-open
UCL #39;s Flaxman Gallery, a rare surviving 19th century sculptural installation, and the innovative Octagon Gallery below are now open to the public after a bold transformation. Artist John Flaxman #39;s plaster study St Michael Overcoming Satan now stands on a glass plinth above the oculus so that visitors in the Octagon below can look up and see the models and dome from new angles. The Octagon Gallery has radically changed with new cases, animations and interactive screens to display treasures from UCL #39;s museums collections. Further information: http://www.ucl.ac.uk Burwell Deakins Architects have redesigned the galleries. With thanks to donors UCL Mellon Programme and the Andrew W Mellon Foundation of New York About UCL (University College London): Founded in 1826, UCL was the first English university established after Oxford and Cambridge, the first to admit students regardless of race, class, religion or gender, and the first to provide systematic teaching of law, architecture and medicine. We are among the world #39;s top universities, as reflected by performance in a range of international rankings and tables. UCL currently has around 25000 students from 150 countries, and more than 9500 employees.From:UCLTVViews:86 0ratingsTime:04:17More inEducation
