8 March 2026
2pm
Included in general admission

For International Women's Day, join us for a series of talks in collaboration with the Women's Studies Group, 1558–1837.

To celebrate International Women’s Day members and friends of the Women’s Studies Group, 1558-1837 will be delivering a series of short talks in the Museum galleries from 2pm.

Covering topics such as mothers and children, women and the army, actors and writers, risk, sensation and exposure, and the law and society’s attitudes to transgression, these talks will shine a light on women’s history through the lens of the Museum’s Collection. The talks are free with Museum admission.

This listing is supplied by one of our museum partners and is not moderated by Art Fund.
