Kettle's Yard
Cambridge
Kettle's Yard House was created by Jim Ede, once a curator at the Tate Gallery.

In the Kettle's Yard House there is a collection of 20th century art alongside the furniture, ceramics and natural objects collected by Jim Ede. Kettle's Yard is part of the University of Cambridge.
