Jesus College was founded in 1571, and last year we celebrated our 450th anniversary. We hosted many events and activities throughout the year, as well as our #Jesus450 digital exhibition ’12 Objects’ .
Scroll down to find links to recordings of just some of the online events we hosted in 2021, and to view the beautiful College treasures that featured in the 12 Objects exhibition.
12 Objects is a 450th Anniversary digital exhibition series which told Jesus College’s rich and vibrant story through some of the objects in our collection. Curated by a range of expert contributors, led by Helen Morag Fellow Professor Paulina Kewes and College Archivist Dr Robin Darwall-Smith, this series brings to life the stories of the people who have made the Jesus community what it is today. Each month we announced a new object, explored its history and gained a 21st Century perspective from one of our contributors.
