Situated in the heart of London, with its unrivalled cultural and academic resources, King’s College London has a long tradition of supporting research and teaching in Late Antique and Medieval Studies. This endeavour is spread across a range of disciplines and departments, and it is promoted by CLAMS, one of the first Humanities Research Centres at King's. Since 1988, our Centre has sponsored a variety of events, including informal reading groups, an annual lecture series, exhibitions and major international conferences.

Our next event...
Curating the Middle Ages, a panel discussion
17.30 Thursday 11 February 2010 in the Council Room, Strand Campus
James Robinson (Curator of Medieval Collections, Department of Prehistory & Europe, British Museum)
John Clark (Curator Emeritus, Department of Archaeological Collections & Archive, Museum of London)
Glyn Davies (Curator, Medieval & Renaissance Galleries, Victoria & Albert Museum)
The recent opening of the refurbished medieval and Renaissance galleries at the British Museum, the Museum of London, and the Victoria & Albert Museum is testimony to the enduring cultural appeal of the Middle Ages. This event brings together three curators who played leading roles in relaunching these galleries. Each will explain the practical and conceptual decisions governing the choice and display of materials in their own institutions, and share their views on the broader opportunities and challenges of exhibiting medieval art and artefacts in today’s world.
