Kettle's Yard
Cambridge
Kettle's Yard House was created by Jim Ede, once a curator at the Tate Gallery. In many ways Kettle's Yard House retains the characteristics of a real home and visitors are welcome to sit in the chairs, read the books and enjoy the art works. 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.
