Medieval Art & Architecture Events calendar

Dear List Member,

In the week that saw the publication of the Royal Irish Academy’s monumental five-volume ‘Art and Architecture of Ireland’, the medieval volume’s reach across 400–1600CE reminds us that a ‘medieval events list’ like ours must inevitably overlap its margins – Late Antiquity/Iron Age influencing what would follow, and Early Modern/Renaissance integral to what went before.

With best wishes,
Michael Brennan, Laura Cleaver,
Trinity College Dublin.
