In anticipation of Caravaggio’s Cupid, opening on 26 November, join us to celebrate an Italian masterpiece in our permanent collection.

In this talk, take a trip to Northern Italy with Curator of Arms and Armour Keith Dowen and consider the sleek form of a 15th-century sallet (a kind of helmet). Learn about the story behind this arresting, Greco-Roman inspired object and its maker, Pietro da Castello.

Places are limited and allocated first-come, first-served on the day.
