The conference takes place at Downing College Cambridge on Monday 6 July, with a drinks reception afterwards in the Fitzwilliam Museum. Tickets are £85, booking is online. An international panel of art historians, conservation scientists, and other experts will present further research into how the enigmatic Rothschild bronzes were made, their likely iconography, meaning, patron and purpose.
