Course overview
Following their monarch’s example, newly-affluent households shaped their homes as havens for the cultivation of a virtuous life, yet also furnished and decorated them on an ambitious scale, guided by manuals but constrained by social conventions. It was a way of life widely depicted, eulogised and satirised, in art and literature.
Course tickets will be available for priority booking for V&A Members from 9.30am Monday 6 May 2019. General booking will open on 9.30am Monday 13 May 2019, subject to availability.
This course has a Half Term break on 21 February • Refreshments served • Price reductions available for Seniors (60+), jobseekers (ES40 holders) and registered disabled people
