The creches were compiled by alumna Eileen Canty and her husband Jim Canty from their travels around the world over two decades. The collection was donated to the college in the name of their daughter Kate.

The Castle Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and noon to 4 p.m. on weekends.
