A Manuscripts and Special Collections lunchtime talk.

Mountain precipices, erupting volcanoes, battles, malaria and the ever-present danger of social failure: travel on the eighteenth-century Grand Tour could be unpleasantly hazardous. Join Sarah Goldsmith (University of York) to explore why Grand Tourists risked such dangers. Could these perils ever be more than a dangerous nuisance?

This talk is being held in connection with the ‘Grand Tourists and Others’ exhibition, currently on in the Weston Gallery, Nottingham Lakeside Arts until 7^th August 2016.

Free admission.
