A student - led curator's talk on how menageries entertained and educated in the Victorian age
Following the opening of the MLitt Museum Studies students' exhibition 'Victorian Time: The Spirit of the Age', the lunchtime talks will elaborate on various themes and objects found within. As part of a series of lunchtime talks held in King's Museum MLitt student Anna Rinke provides a free talk on how menageries entertained and educated in the Victorian age. Menageries drew on Britain's expanding imperial interests to entertain and educate the British population with a surprising array of unfamiliar beasts and birds. This talk will touch on Wombwell's Menagerie which was one of the largest.
