PROGRAMME OF FORTHCOMING EVENTS
Live talks take place at the University Women's Club in Mayfair. We stream some talks, usually from overseas speakers, via Zoom. Whenever possible, talks are recorded and made available to members via the Members' Area of the website.
We also organise trips and tours for members and their guests. These are advertised in the monthly newsletters.
This year there have been several visits: in February a curator-led visit to Leighton House in Kensington, and in April a behind-the-scenes visit to Brighton Museum to see Burmese textiles not on display, as well as a guided tour of the Royal Pavilion. Another private visit to Christie's for a preview of a sale took place in late April. In November we had a curatorial session at the V&A looking at Indian embroideries in the collections. Details of forthcoming visits appear in the members' newsletters.
