Cultural History with Professor Dakers
Wednesday 13 July, 3pm
Meet Professor Emerita Caroline Dakers, specialist in Cultural History, and find out more about England and the arts during the 1870s, when the RSN was founded. Learn about the start of Albertopolis in London, with the Royal Albert Hall, Royal College of Music, South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) all being built in the area. But these were not the only developments, it was also the opening of Alexandra Palace in north London with its park and theatre. Caroline will look at all these fascinating cultural and artistic developments.
