Margaret is an internationally acclaimed scholar in Medieval and Renaissance art and, in particular, the art of the illuminated manuscript. Her talk is bound to be a fascinating look into the illuminated mansucripts in Handwritten.

Tickets are free and can be booked online.

    Hi,
    Just wondered if there might be a talk for us (incl 16 yr old) on Einstein/ exhibition.
    Kind regards

      Hi Martina
      Unfortunately there are no talks specifically on Einstein. However, Nat Williams will be talking about how the manuscripts were collected, and will briefly talk about the Einstein papers as part of this. The details on this talk are available on our website: http://www.nla.gov.au/events/showevent.html?q=62917
