Early Modern Material Cultures

Convenors: Marta Ajmar (V&A/RCA), Angela McShane (V&A/RCA), Sandra Cavallo (Royal Holloway), Richard Checketts (V&A/RCA), Christine Guth (V&A/RCA), Filippo de Vivo (Birkbeck), Luca Molà (Warwick)

Venue: Low Countries Room, IHR; or, if indicated below, Seminar Room A, Research Dept., V&A
Time: Wednesday 5.00 pm

Drawing on research that engages directly with material culture by scholars from a range of disciplines and approaches, seminars will alternate between presentations at the IHR and presentations at the V&A which will involve direct contact with objects. It is hoped to attract a broad range of scholars and students to this exciting new programme, which is intended as an annual summer series.

Access to Seminar Room A is via the entrance to the Research Department. To get there, go the top of the staircase decorated with ceramic tiles that leads from the Asian Sculpture Galleries (Rooms 17-20) on the ground floor, up past the Silver Gallery (Room 70a). Please allow at least five minutes to get to the seminar room from the Museum entrances. Alternatively enquire at the Cromwell Road entrance main desk.
