Every Tuesday, enjoy an in-depth insight into the Barber’s stunning collection through this brand-new programme of mini podcasts.
Each week, staff will give short ten-minute talks about a variety of topics relating to the Barber’s collections. Discussions may include past and present displays, small groups of related works, an aspect of the member of staff’s own research, or single masterpieces and recent acquisitions.
These talks are part of our new initiative to bring the Barber’s collection into your home virtually, starting while the gallery’s doors are closed to visitors in line with government advice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We hope you enjoy them.
