Join York Art Gallery's Senior Curator, Dr Beatrice Bertram, for an exclusive tour of the exhibition Turner, Wedgwood & Beyond: Inspired by Flaxman, which celebrates the life and legacy of York-born designer and artist John Flaxman. The exhibition displays Flaxman's illustrations of Homer's Odyssey alongside classical-themed works by artists including J.M.W. Turner, William Blake, Angelica Kauffman and Josiah Wedgwood. The tour runs from 5pm to 6pm, after which attendees head to York Theatre Royal for a 6.30pm top-price ticket to The Penelopiad, Margaret Atwood's irreverent retelling of Homer's Odyssey.
