Study Day: The Art and Architecture of Berlin Old and New Clare Ford-Wille Thursday 23 October 2025

Bookings now closed.

Now united for over thirty years, Berlin is one of the most vibrant of cities. Since 1989 it has been a building site with the building of exciting new buildings, for example Potsdamer Platz, and the restoration of old ones, such as the Reichstag (shown in the photograph). Berlin possesses extraordinary collections of Egyptian, Roman and Babylonian sculpture, as well as outstanding European paintings and sculpture of the Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic and modern periods.

Our speaker will be Clare Ford-Wille, who is a renowned speaker on this topic and who has lectured for TASMH in the past.

TASMH is arranging an overseas visit to Berlin for a few days in Autumn 2026. This Study Day, in addition to being of interest to all members, will be a useful primer for members intending to go on the visit. 

Cost:  £55 (includes lunch).

Bookings now closed

Venue: Colwall Village Hall 

Doors open at 9:45am (The first talk begins at 10.15am and the day ends at around 3pm. There are two hour-long illustrated talks before lunch and one in the afternoon)
