Museum Director Sophie Heath will host well-known antiques experts John Sandon, Philip Serrell and Paul Crane sharing stories and star objects from Worcester’s porcelain heritage.
This series of zoom talks leads up to the launch of our first Showstopper Trail – in 2022 we’ll be telling our story through 22 glorious and significant objects which span The Porcelain’s 1751 – 2008 history.
Online talks take place on the Third Tuesday of the month at 6pm.
