Artist: Unknown brings together for the first time an extraordinary selection of anonymous art and artefacts from the University of Cambridge’s renowned museums and collections.
With objects spanning centuries and continents, the exhibition weaves together often hidden histories of artistic production, collection, marginalisation and colonialism, to explore why these makers’ identities have been unrecorded or lost to history.
The miniatures can be seen in a special display in the Rothschild Gallery of Medieval & Renaissance Art (Gallery 32), where they are shown alongside other 16th- and 17th-century miniatures, including examples by Nicholas Hilliard.

Come and see LIVE animals, including reptiles, birds of prey and insects. This is your chance to see live burying beetles - find out how they look after their young and what they eat - it's absolutely fascinating and perhaps not what you would expect. Come and talk to our lovely PhD research students, who will tell you everything they know.
Plus... you can look at our amazing skeletons which include a whale, dodo, two elephants, giraffe, giant ground sloth as well as a giant wasp nest, beetles, butterflies, birds, fish, corals and much much more.
Explore connections between art and science through an audio descriptive tour of the evolution of patterns found in nature, based on artworks from our temporary art exhibition ‘Evolution as Inspiration’.
