Curious about the detective work that goes on behind the scenes in a museum?
Glimpse behind the scenes during this lunchtime talk and uncover what detective work goes into finding out about the objects in a collection. Winterbourne Curator Henrietta will draw upon her experience at Winterbourne and at Birmingham Museums Trust to tease out some of her most fascinating voyages of discovery. Meet a Victorian philanthropist with a hidden passion for archaeology, follow the surprising tale of a magnificent Parliamentary court suit which the Nettlefolds wore as fancy dress, and along the way encounter one of the greatest Victorians of them all – Charles Darwin.
Recommended for ages 16+. The talk will take place in the Winterbourne Centre for Horticulture. For any queries about this talk, please email our Learning Officer, Ellie Hill.
