Bite Size Talk: Landscape in Lockdown (online)

Tuesday 9 Feb, 1.30pm – Landscape in Lockdown

Join Museums Worcestershire curators on the 2nd Tuesday of each month for a series of talks about the collections.

Bite size talks are approximately 30 minutes long.

This event will run online. Registration is compulsory – you will be emailed the online link for the talk before the event.
