Art and Scent Online Talks

Join us for an online series of talks inspired by the exhibition Scented Visions: Smell in Art 1850–1915. Leading scholars will guide us through the invisible world of fragrance in art, and how scent was imagined, symbolised, and spiritually charged in Victorian and early 20th-century painting. From the olfactory imagination to sacred incense and symbolic flowers, these talks reveal how smell shaped meaning and emotion in some of the period’s most evocative artworks.

All talks are online and can be booked individually or as a series. Talks will be live online and recordings will also be made available. £12 each or £30 for all three talks.
