Christ Church is unique among the Oxford and Cambridge colleges in possessing an important collection of Old Master paintings and drawings, housed in a purpose-built Gallery of considerable architectural interest in itself. The collection consists of some 300 paintings and almost 2000 drawings and is strongest in Italian art from the 14th to the 18th century.

The internationally renowned drawings collection in the Picture Gallery at Christ Church is regarded as one of the most important private collections of Old Master drawings in the country. These small in-house exhibitions are changed about every three months to enable the public to see a varied selection from this part of the collection.

Forthcoming Exhibitions:

"Pathos, Invention and Speed, Luca Cambiaso (1527 - 1585) and his Time". Drawings from the Christ Church collection. 27 October - 11 February 2013.

"Prints by Gayna Wiles", From the Sketchbook: Objects, Views & Places. 28 October - 3 December 2012.
