About this film

Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom is a sculpture by Peter Eugene Ball commissioned by the Chapel at Merton College, Oxford and installed in 2016. Is it traditional or modern? See what our group of young people found out about the sculpture and how well they think it sits in its historic surroundings. The group also review a sculpture by Barbara Hepworth at the Weston Library to make a comparison.

This is one of a series of four-minute films produced by schools and young people's groups from across the UK about sculpture local to them.​
