Sculpture in the Garden: The Storytellers at Worcester College
From May 1 to July 5, 2026, Worcester College at the University of Oxford will be hosting an exhibition titled 'Sculpture in the Garden: The Storytellers.' This event will feature contemporary figurative sculptures by 15 international artists, such as Reza Aramesh and Antony Gormley. The artworks will be arranged in five distinct sections, each named after a line from Shakespeare, in tribute to the college's drama society, the Buskins. The beautiful gardens, lake, and architecture of the college will serve as a stunning backdrop for the pieces. Additionally, performances by Hazel Dowling, Lorna Ough, Jarad Jackson, and two graduates from the Ruskin School of Art will enhance the experience. Entry is free, supported by various patrons.
