A view towards the city centre with Kettle's Yard predominating. This art gallery and heritage house - part of the University of Cambridge Museums consortium - reopened in February 2018 following an expansion of its facilities. The house (approached via the passageway nearest the photographer) was originally the Cambridge home of Harold Stanley Ede (known as Jim) and his wife Helen, who moved here in 1956. They converted four small cottages into one property as a place to display their early C20th art collection. Jim (1895-1990) and Helen believed that art should be shared in a relaxed, welcoming environment, hence their 'open house’ approach to visitors. In 1966, the Edes gave the house and collection to the University. They continued to live in the house until 1973 when they moved to Edinburgh to retire. The complex closed in June 2015 to allow for the creation of a four-floor education wing, improved exhibition galleries, a new entrance area and a café.
