Dreamscapes: an odyssey through the realms of imagination.

As long as there has been sleep there have been dreams to fascinate humanity, terrify children and inspire poets, artists and thinkers.

On the 21 June 2024, as the sun sets over Wolfson College, all of these dreams will come to life: each area will be its own dreamscape with its own distinct theme and aura.
