Pre-Raphaelite murals
If you have not yet visited the Pre-Raphaelite murals in the Old Library, take the opportunity now. The ceiling and the wall paintings are by artists such as William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Why not make a Pre-Raphaelite day of it and combine your visit to the Oxford Union with visits to the Ashmolean Museum, Kelmscott Manor or the Red House.Admission charges to view the Oxford Union murals are £1.50 per person for those who are not members of the Oxford Union Society. The Library is open Mondays to Fridays, 9.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. , with the exception of the first two weeks in September when the Union is closed.
