Exploring Kettle’s Yard: University of Cambridge's Modern Art Museum | Houses with History

House & Garden presents Houses with History from Kettle’s Yard, the University of Cambridge’s modern and contemporary art gallery. Join interior designer Virginia White as we tour Kettle’s Yard, a modest set of cottages that was transformed into a light-filled home and art lover’s paradise in the 1950s and 1960s.
Bequeathed to the University of Cambridge by the art curator Jim Ede and his wife Helen, Kettle’s Yard is now maintained as a museum filled with clever displays of art and objects. Watch as Virginia takes us on a tour of the interiors, explaining the lessons she has learned about collecting and displaying art, and what you can take away for your own adventures in decoration.

This is not a video you should watch when looking for a house to buy for yourself, every house I will see will now seem so disapointing ahah!! This is absolutely gorgeous. How amazing must it feel to be surrounded by amazing architecture and art at all times.

I visited the Kettles Yard last year, and it was so warm and homey and I love the use of space, the art arrangements and the sea shells and stones on the window sill. Love it! ❤️

I absolutely love this collected and curated home. What an awesome place to reside.

[@micherunnett5492]

Curating took my breath away, actually cried a bit recognizing myself as we popped into different spaces. The philosophy that created this place has changed me as intended. The more young minds exposed to this experience the better

[@jstokes]

Thats wonderful.

[@mariaecheverria8747]

Love how the couple arranged beautiful and mundane objects with modern art! A perfect balance that makes the space feel ethereal! I would to visit one day! 💚

[@stevemiller7949]

I am bowled over. What an absolute piece of heaven on earth. I live in America, and I doubt I will visit it, but still. The domestic scale, spirit, and informality is marvelous. Above all, I am struck by the sensuous changes in space, light, and vista's that massage one, both inside and outside of the building. FLWright was obsessed with this, and historians call it "compression and release." Just incredible, thank you for this! ❤️❤️💯🙂

Now I can call my studio “quirky “ instead of frightening and weird! Hahaha

[@romanspataro1688]

Thank you, Jim Ede

Amazing ✨✨✨💚

[@mariaeast1429]

Visited a few years ago and it is truly wonderful from the very first bell ring to the closing of the door. More House please, less shots of the presenter walking.

[@Ali-yo1le]

nice videos but more POC needed.

[@susan5431]

Great coverage. Shame about the over-exuberant background music, which sounds like it fell in from an advertisement. Why not just let the voice and images do their work?
