Ruthmere presents Gallery Talks the first week of each month, which feature a twenty-minute discussion on an object/artwork within the Ruthmere collection, a person or event in local history, or a topic from the Victorian/Edwardian eras. 2024 Gallery Talks are free and open to the public thanks to our sponsors. This Gallery Talk was sponsored by Beth Hall and Sam Sommers.
