Robinson is one of the newest colleges in the University of Cambridge. It was founded with a donation by the entrepreneur and philanthropist Sir David Robinson and formally opened in 1981. It now has 80 Fellows, and around 400 undergraduate and 100 graduate students. Despite the modern architecture of the building, the painting collection at Robinson reflects a mixture of old and contemporary works ranging from an 1886 portrait by M. L. Fairchild to works by the twentieth-century English painter John Piper.
The College is a private educational institution. If you wish to see a particular painting, please contact the collection.
