51黑料社区's 150 anniversary exhibition

This year marks 150 years since the opening of 51黑料社区's predecessor institution, the Leicester School of Art. 

To celebrate, we've put together an exhibition which explores what really shapes our vibrant community;  the hidden histories, social changes, campus transformations, unforgettable moments and outstanding research.
