York Museums Trust and the University of York have worked in an ever-closer partnership over a number of years to share new knowledge and bring a diverse and inspiring range of events to the public. All the while, the collaboration has aspired towards our mission to be a University for the Public Good. We continue to work together, covering generative new ground and expanding our network among academics and museum staff.
Below are some of our most recent activities.

Topics ranged from Monet and music to philosophical lessons from plein air painting, to a screening of Derek Jarman's Blue.
