THE LONDON COURSE: LONDON IN THE 18TH CENTURY / THE GEORGIAN PERIOD AT THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEU

The recovery of London expanded at a rapid pace after the Great Fire. As the city at the heart of the Age of Enlightenment, it was a consumer society par excellence with wealth and squalor side by side. It was a rough and ready time, elegant and refined: a time of passionate preaching and riotous disorder. This is the time of Robert
Adam, Canaletto, William Hogarth and the Mob, and the course will illustrate the life that Londoners lived in every stratum of society.


THE GEORGIAN PERIOD AT THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM (WALK)

The V&A is a treasure house of the output of the Georgian craftsmen. With a concentration of time in the 18th century section of the British Galleries, we will see the very best of costume, furniture, porcelain, portraiture and textiles: as time allows we will further explore the display of 18th century theatre.
