Hardy’s Dorset Gallery Tour

Join Alban O’Brien on an exploration of “Hardy’s Dorset”, the world-renowned gallery at Dorset Museum & Art Gallery. The gallery houses items from Hardy’s personal and professional life and showcases his life and works. The tour will include readings from Hardy’s writing associated with items in the collection.

After visiting the Hardy Gallery, the tour will explore other items with a Hardy connection on display in this award-winning museum, including the gargoyle from Lucetta’s house in “The Mayor of Casterbridge” and rural artefacts featured in “The Woodlanders” and “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit the temporary exhibition on “Treasure: Lost and Found” and to see other notable objects in the museum’s collection.

This event is part of the 27th International Thomas Hardy Conference and Festival
