Bucket List Experience
Photo by Paul Allitt
Part of the University of Cambridge, Kettle’s Yard was originally the private home of Jim Ede, curator at the Tate Gallery in the 1920s and ’30s. The beauty of Kettle’s Yard is that it still feels like a private home, yet houses one of the most impressive collections of 20th-century art in the country.
Ede’s private collection includes works by Joan Miró, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.
Logistics
