You'll hear from the exhibition's curator Dr Richard Taws (UCL History of Art) as he takes a guided tour through the portraits of revolutionary martyrs and the dramatic scenes of Parisian crowds to give a unique insight into how people understood life during the Terror.

Learn how the elderly Duchess of Elbeuf survives home confinement under the terror of the revolution with a specially commissioned play and short film, The Duchess by Nicola Baldwin and Saskia Marland. Inspiration is drawn from newly discovered contemporary letters that inform the exhibition.

Date and time - Thursday 29 October, 12:00 - 13:30
