About the seminar
The seminar, established in 2004, was one of the first in its field. It holds monthly meetings on Monday evenings with a range of international speakers on a wide variety of subjects. Our sessions cover diverse topics and explore different approaches to the subject of collecting and display. We invite papers that cover areas of collecting from antiquity to the present day and a broad geographical range; we are interested in the history of private collections and museums, the great house, the history of natural sciences, court culture and diplomacy, the art market and gender studies.
