Get to grips with the basics of European art history in our series of lively and engaging talks given by Nirvana Romell.

Throughout each talk links are made to works on display at Manchester Art Gallery, giving a deeper understanding of the gallery's collections.

No previous knowledge is necessary but lots of curiosity, an open mind and a sense of humour will be useful.

Talks are monthly on Sunday afternoons. The talks can be attended individually or followed as a basic course in art history. The next talk is on Sunday 10 May
