Guided Art Visit in Spanish at the Victoria & Albert Museum: "Middle Ages, Dark Ages?" - Saturday 29th October at 11am

The Middle Ages have traditionally been referred to as the Dark Ages, but was this really a dark period in Art History? Join us to shed some light on the Medieval Collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. You will end the visit thinking of the Middle Ages as the Bright Ages.

Learn about life in the Middle Ages and discover fascinating objects from around Europe, all while practising your Spanish. We will talk about everyday objects such as ivories, reliquaries, or Books of Hours, as well as precious treasures such as the Becket Casket and the Soissons Diptych.

This is a welcoming, fun, and friendly discussion-based tour in which you will put your Spanish into gear. You will not only learn about art, but you will also be encouraged to be critical and express your own opinions. Absolutely no knowledge of art is required, just an inquisitive mind and an interest to learn and exchange views.

All levels of Spanish are welcome. You will be provided with a vocabulary list in advance, so that you can familiarise yourself with the words we will use in the tour. Please let us know your level of Spanish when booking your place. Spaces are limited, please book in advance.

We will meet on Saturday 29th October 2022 at 11am inside the building at the main entrance of the Victoria & Albert Museum (Cromwell Rd, London SW7 2RL). Look for the Spanish House London logo.
