This exhibition explores the rich and complex subject of the Grand Tour, a cultural right-of-passage undertaken by the British upper classes during the 18th century.

Presenting material layered with 500 years of imaginative and myopic visions, the exhibition frames the Grand Tour from a historical perspective and highlights its profound impact on the development of European cultural paradigms and institutions.

The exhibition showcases Terence Lane OAM’s (1946–2024) gift to the University of ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Prints and Drawings collection, alongside treasures from the University’s Archives and Special Collections.
