Ann-Marie Michel will give an overview of some of the most sensational art crimes, from the Renaissance to modern times. Highly topical after the theft at the Louvre.
Art is in some ways particularly vulnerable to thieves and fraudsters – it’s portable, it’s sometimes astronomically valuable, and most people have little or no experience of it, so they don’t know how to tell if it’s fake.
The subscription to Quest remains at £18, which includes all 12 talks and refreshments. This is reduced if you join later in the season. A bargain!
Guest admission at £3 for a single talk.
No need to book, just pay on the door.
