The illustrated talk will be given by Deborah Sugg Ryan, Professor of Design History and Theory and Associate Dean of Research at Portsmouth University, and will complement the current exhibition at the Museum – Heath Robinson’s Home Life.

The evening starts with a reception in the Museum from 6pm with the talk at 7pm in the Verden Gallery. The Museum galleries and shop will be open during the reception and again after the talk until 8.30pm to give those attending an opportunity to enjoy the exhibitions.
