This Curation takes you on a tour to see 10 impressive sculptures that are part of the University Heritage Collection, displayed across the University of Sheffield campus.
You can follow the map at the link below to see the sculptures in person or complete a virtual tour here.

It takes approximately 2 hours to complete the tour and every sculpture is accessible by wheelchair, but you may need to check with building porters on your arrival for access. Sculptures inside university buildings will only be accessible during that building's opening hours, which is usually 9am-5pm during term time.
