SUMMARY:Peggy Guggenheim: A Life of Collecting
DESCRIPTION:Describing herself by writing\, “I am a museum”\, Peggy Guggenheim’s life took a clear path\, from setting up a commercial gallery in London\, going on a single-minded shopping trip to Paris in the late 1930’s even as the German tanks were rolling in to the suburbs\, to escape (with her selection of European artists) to New York and the subsequent establishment of her museum (and Arts centre)\, and finally the purchase of the eccentric ‘unfinished palazzo’ in Venice\, her collection remains one of the most iconic assemblages of Twentieth century art in the world. \nDates and Locations \nMonday 22 June 2026 Hobart (TAS) \nTuesday 23 June 2026 Launceston (TAS) \nSunday 5 July 2026 Cairns (QLD) \nWednesday 8 July 2026 Geelong (VIC) \nThursday 16 July 2026 Molonglo Plains (NSW / ACT) \nMonday 20 July 2026 Fleurieu (SA) \nSaturday 25 July 2026 Perth (WA) \nMonday 27 July 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Florence and the Birth of the Italian Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:We are all so familiar with the ideas and culture of the Italian Renaissance\, a phenomenon that emerged in the 15th century. But why did Florence act as the midwife for this evolution? What did the city provide that enabled this birth and encouraged it to flourish? Is it something that was so efficiently reported and propagandised by people such as Giorgio Vasari\, the 16th century artist and art historian\, that we accept that Florence was indeed where the Italian Renaissance emerged? \nDates and Locations \nThursday 9 July 2026 Melbourne (VIC) \nTuesday 14 July 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nWednesday 22 July 2026 Adelaide (SA) \nMonday 27 July 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:The Housekeeper's Tale: The Women Who Really Ran the English Country House
DESCRIPTION:Working as a housekeeper was one of the most prestigious jobs a 19th and early 20th century woman could want\, and also one of the toughest. A far cry from the Downton Abbey fiction\, the real-life housekeeper was up against capricious mistresses\, low pay\, no job security and gruelling physical labour. Until now\, her story has never been told. Delving into secret diaries\, unpublished letters and the neglected service archives of our stately homes\, Tessa Boase tells a series of poignant and dramatic stories about some of Britain’s most prominent households which are all\, today\, open to the public. \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 5 August 2026 Chatswood (NSW) \nWednesday 12 August 2026 Geelong (VIC) \nSaturday 29 August 2026 Perth (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Fashion\, Feathers and Feminism: Women’s Fight for Change
DESCRIPTION:When social historian Tessa Boase told the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds she wanted to write their early story\, they refused to let her visit their archives. To a former investigative journalist\, this was a challenge she could not resist. This lecture shines a light on the intriguing story of women’s love affair with plumage – and of the brave eco feminists who fought back on behalf of the birds. Moving from a polite Victorian tea party to an egret hunt in a Florida swamp; from a suffragette ‘monster rally’ to a milliner’s dusty workshop\, you will be taken back in time to a world where every woman\, of every class wore a hat. Shocking and surprising\, entertaining and moving\, this pacy lecture remains Tessa’s most popular. \nDates and Locations \nSunday 9 August 2026 Cairns (QLD) \nThursday 13 August 2026 Melbourne (VIC) \nMonday 17 August 2026 Murray River (NSW /VIC) \nTuesday 18 August 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nSaturday 29 August 2026 Perth (WA) \nMonday 31 August 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

To a former investigative journalist\, this was a challenge she could not resist. This lecture shines a light on the intriguing story of women’s love affair with plumage – and of the brave eco feminists who fought back on behalf of the birds. Moving from a polite Victorian tea party to an egret hunt in a Florida swamp; from a suffragette ‘monster rally’ to a milliner’s dusty workshop\, you will be taken back in time to a world where every woman\, of every class wore a hat. Shocking and surprising\, entertaining and moving\, this pacy lecture remains Tessa’s most popular. \nDates and Locations \nSunday 9 August 2026 Cairns (QLD) \nThursday 13 August 2026 Melbourne (VIC) \nMonday 17 August 2026 Murray River (NSW /VIC) \nTuesday 18 August 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nSaturday 29 August 2026 Perth (WA) \nMonday 31 August 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:The Dutch Golden Age in Six Paintings
DESCRIPTION:The 17th century in the Netherlands\, referred to as the Dutch Golden Age\, was the time of Rembrandt and Vermeer\, of extraordinary riches and incredible progress. There may be no other country in which in the brief span of a hundred years so many paintings were executed. It would be hard to find a museum in the world not housing at least one painting from the Dutch Golden Age. This talk will use six paintings to introduce how the arts flourished in the tiny republic during this period\, and to introduce the Dutch\, their cities\, landscapes\, society\, beliefs and artistic genres. \nDates and Locations \nSunday 6 September 2026 Cairns (QLD) \nThursday 10 September 2026 Melbourne (VIC) \nTuesday 15 September 2026 Canberra (ACT) \nTuesday 29 September 2026 Margaret River (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Mondrian's Evolution Into Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Mondrian is forever known in history for the artist who created the extremely recognisable elementary colour field paintings. He started creating these kinds of paintings around 1920. What many do not realise is that by then he had already 30 years of being a figurative artist under his belt. This lecture follows this evolution\, his self-discovery\, and his belief in a new world order. \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 9 September 2026 Geelong (VIC) \nMonday 21 September 2026 Fleurieu (SA) \nSaturday 26 September 2026 Perth (WA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
