People’s Portraits Collection
About the People's Portraits permanent collection
People’s Portraits was mounted in 2000 as a millenial exhibition. The idea was to represent ordinary people from all walks of life, and thereby offer a picture of the United Kingdom as it moved from the 20th century into the 21st. The resulting collection is rich in the diversity of its subjects. This collection members add new works annually. It is housed at Girton College Cambridge where it is open to the public.
