The Collections · Three houses
Thirty-six houses, three traditions.
Every university in this guide belongs to one of three traditions — the chartered ancient, the civic modern, and the atelier stage. The collections gather each tradition with its own narrative: how it began, what it values, where it keeps its rituals.
