The 2023-24 season of monthly lectures begins on Thursday 5 October with Tulipmania - a 17th century passion in art, gardens and collecting, given by Anne Haworth. We have, as usual, aimed to cover a wide range of topics in the arts, from carpets to Valentines, from stained glass to stone and from porcelain to painters, from Giotto to Jackson Pollock.
