British Museum: Europe 1800-1900 Gallery + pub social
Sun, Aug 23, 2:00 PM**Unlike our regular events, this event has no attendee limit and we visit just ONE gallery in the British Museum.** **How does it work?: We meet and greet in the British Museum Court cafe first. Then we explore one room in the museum for 45 minutes - this is NOT a guided tour of the room, and you're free to wander around at your own pace. Then we head to the pub!** **THIS MONTH WE'RE VISITING THE EUROPE 1800-1900 GALLERY (ROOM 47)** The 19th century saw unprecedented economic growth in Europe, accompanied by immense social and political upheavals. For Britain, the 19th century was a period of stability and industrial supremacy. On the continent, France underwent three revolutions, while the second half of the century saw the unification of Germany and Italy. The nationalist sentiment that lay behind these events often paid homage to the great ages of the past. This is reflected in the objects shown in Room 47, many of which have borrowed motifs from earlier historical periods. During this period, international exhibitions fostered the growth of machine technology, yet traditional craftsmanship flourished alongside. **Read more** **[here](https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/galleries/europe-1800-1900).** **A Dracula Daily fan?:** Bram Stoker used the British Museum Reading Room to investigate maps, travel accounts, and folklore regarding Transylvania to write Dracula in 1897. In the opening chapter of Dracula, protagonist Jonathan Harker visits the British Museum library to research Transylvanian geography and Castle Dracula before his fateful journey.

'Wren's City Churches' Guided Walk
Sun, Sep 6, 12:30 PMCome along on Sunday 6th September at 1:30pm for a guided walk around the City on the churches that were built by Sir Christopher Wren. **About the walk** I will be guiding you around the City of London to see and go inside some of the churches that were built by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666. I will talk about Wren himself, his two assistants; Nicholas Hawksmoor and Robert Hooke, each church's architecture, it's history, the churches that were here before 1666, the Great Fire of London and the damage done during the Blitz of WW2. Hopefully we will be able to go inside a few to view them from inside. Christopher Michael Wren (1632 - 1723), was born in East Knoyle, Wiltshire and is one of the most highly acclaimed English architects in history. He was accorded responsibility for rebuilding 52 churches in the City of London after the Great Fire in 1666, including his masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral, on Ludgate Hill. Other notable buildings by Wren include the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, and the south front of Hampton Court Palace. The guided walk will be led by myself. The walk lasts about 2 hours and finishes near St. Paul's Cathedral. **Payment** Full Members of the group will be free, everyone else the cost is £7 per person (payable by cash or credit card on the day). **Become a Full Member** To become a Full Member (£14 a year), either: \- Pay cash at an event \- Pay via Bank Transfer \(TSB Bank plc\, Sort code: 77\-66\-65\, Account no: 00030809\, Account name: Cultureseekers\) \- Pay via credit card on the day or in advance \([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI)) \- go to PayPal \- [https://www.paypal.com/uk/](https://www.paypal.com/uk/), then click on 'Pay & Get Paid‘, then click on 'Send Money’, put in the email address: [general@cultureseekers.org](mailto:general@cultureseekers.org) in the 'Send Money' box, then 'Next' and then enter the amount to pay.
