OutStories Bristol in collaboration with the University of Bristol Institute of Greece, Rome, and the Classical Tradition (IGRCT) present the 10th John Addington Symonds Annual Lecture.

 

Museum Bums explore the inspirations for John Addington Symonds

Jack Shoulder and Mark Small take a closer look at some of the characters in John Addington Symonds‘ works, in their own trademarked cheeky way.

Jack and Mark are the duo behind the eponymous viral Twitter (‘X’) account @museumbums. They’re also going to do their best to sell their new book “Museum Bums: A Cheeky Look at Butts in Art” to you!

This free lecture, which is open to everyone, will take place in hybrid format: both in-person at the Wills Memorial Building and streamed online via Zoom.

To attend in person:
