V&A Academy Unlocked: Romanesque Treasures
Wednesday 6 July 2022
+44 (0)20 7942 2000
This in-person study day is linked to the V&A Academy course 'From Romanesque to Gothic: Europe 1050 - 1250' with Dr Sally Dormer.
Medieval churches provided a foretaste of Heaven on earth. Their grand proportions, polychromed interiors and spectacular furnishings fashioned from silver, silk, ivory, and enamel created an otherworldly paradise dramatically different from ordinary life. This day will explore how patrons and craftsmen achieved these effects, via a PowerPoint lecture, a Gallery Talk, and a session led by a V&A curator with Romanesque ivories not on public display.
This event will take place onsite at the V&A Museum, South Kensington. A maximum of two tickets can be booked.
