Similar events
View all →About This Event
On 16 September 2026, Burgh House in Hampstead hosts a curatorial discourse led by Amy Miller that examines the house's permanent collection through the lens of loss and reconstruction. This forthcoming presentation delves into how physical objects vanish while their imagined counterparts persist within the cultural memory of London. By bridging historical reality with artistic fantasy, the talk illuminates the enduring power of storytelling to reshape our understanding of place and identity. The event offers a rare opportunity to witness these complex narratives unfold within the historic setting of the venue.
Curator Amy Miller will lead a free talk at Burgh House that explores the venue's permanent collection, focusing on the historical narrative of Hampstead. The discussion will delve into the transformation of landscapes and buildings, particularly the impact of the expansion due to the arrival of the railways and the alterations caused by the Second World War. Participants will gain insight into how these changes have shaped the identity of Hampstead over time.
The talk is scheduled to begin at 1.30pm in the Wade Room. Although attendance is free, advance booking is required due to limited capacity. If you are unable to attend after making a reservation, please inform the organisers.
