Event Details

Art Historian Dr Matthew Whyte offers a new lecture series, which takes the audience on an art-filled journey through the often beautiful, sometimes scandalous, and always fascinating moments in the development of Western civilisation.

The lectures can be attended as a series, but are also designed as standalone talks, which can be attended individually.

This lecture focuses on the Irish National Collection at Crawford Art Gallery, exploring its rich history through a close examination of it’s sculpture collection and the role played by historic bequests and donations in shaping its growth.
