Taylor Institution
From Academic Kids
The Taylor Institution is Oxford University's centre for the study of modern European languages and literatures.
It was established in 1845 having largely been funded by a bequest from the estate of notable English architect Sir Robert Taylor (1714-1788).
The Institution and its Library are housed in the east wing of a neo-classical building (architect: Charles Cockerell) constructed to accommodate the Institution and the Randolph Galleries (now the Ashmolean Museum).
