Victorian Mourning & Mythbusting with Dr Kate Cherrell

"Humans have always grieved, but the Victorians transformed this process into not just an industry, but an art. From strictly-governed clothing to jewellery made from human hair, grand funerals and post-mortem photography, the Victorian reverence for the dead was unlike anything we’d ever seen before.

This informative and light-hearted journey through the Victorian world of mourning and grief will celebrate traditions and debunk myths, all accompanied with authentic ephemera, jewellery and more."
