Ruskin Library

The Ruskin Library is a library on the campus of Lancaster University which houses material related to the English poet, author and artist John Ruskin. It is open to the public, although only a small part of the collection is on public display at once.

The building was constructed in the late 1990s by architect Richard MacCormac.
