All University staff are invited to a special festive evening in the Hunterian Art Gallery on Wednesday 11 December from 5.00pm - 7.00pm. The event offers the opportunity to relax and spend some social time with colleagues while enjoying a glass of wine, mince pies and the major exhibition 'Allan Ramsay: Portraits of the Enlightenment'. Staff can also catch up on some Christmas shopping in the Art Gallery Shop and will receive a special 20% discount. Admission is free and staff and their families are welcome. If you would like to attend, please email:

Places are limited so please confirm your attendance as soon as possible.   And if you can't make it along to the Festive Evening, then why not visit the Hunterian Art Gallery over Christmas Holidays?

For the first time in its history, the Gallery will open for four days over the festive period. To celebrate, there will be free admission to the 'Allan Ramsay: Portraits of the Enlightenment' exhibition on the four days. The Gallery will open to the public from 11.00am - 4.00pm on Saturday 28, Sunday 29, Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 December 2013. Why not bring all your friends and family for free and see the critically acclaimed show before it closes on 5 January?

This Festive Evening for University Staff is funded by the Ferguson Bequest. Professor Thomas Ferguson (1900-1977), Henry Mechan Chair of Public Health (1944-64), bequeathed his estate to the University, with the instruction that the money should be used to foster the social side of University life.
