Morley College began its art collection in the late 1950s after the rebuilding of the College was completed. The majority of the original building was destroyed when it suffered a direct hit in the Blitz during the Second World War.
The collection includes murals by John Piper, Edward Bawden and Martin Froy in addition to works by Bridget Riley, Maggi Hambling, Oskar Kokoschka, Ruskin Spear, Lawrence Toynbee and others. The collection is still being added to, the most recent acquisition being 'The Thames from Kew, October, Tide Rising 2008' by artist and Morley tutor Jane Joseph.

Morley College is a college for adult education. Many works are in offices, classrooms and halls, so access to the collection is by arrangement only or during 'Open House' weekend in September.
