DESCRIPTION:As a nation we hold one of the finest collections of oil paint
 ings in the world. Although largely held by museums\, many of these works 
 can also be found in universities\, town halls\, hospitals and public libr
 aries. Eighty per cent of these paintings are not on view\, either being i
 n store or in buildings without routine public access. Until the Public Ca
 talogue Foundation started its work in 2003\, the majority had never been 
 photographed.\n\nAndrew Ellis (m.1980)\, Director of the Public Catalogue 
 Foundation\, will give a Lady Margaret Lecture 'The Nation’s Hidden Art 
 Collection Revealed'  in the Yusuf Hamied Theatre\, Christ's College\, on 
 Wednesday 5 March 2014.  He will describe how the Foundation tracked down 
 the nation’s hidden art in over 3\,000 locations across the UK\, includi
 ng the University of Cambridge. In an illustrated talk\, he will share som
 e of the discoveries as well as offer insights into the nation’s collect
 ing habits and the threats that currently face these collections. He will 
 also explain how innovative digital technologies are being employed to imp
 rove our knowledge of this painting collection.
