Join Juliet Carey and Abigail Green, the editors of a recently published landmark book, for an evening exploring the world of Jewish country houses, their architecture and collections – and the lives of the extraordinary men and women who created, transformed and shaped them. We’ll travel from the playful historicism of the National Trust’s Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire to the modernist masterpiece that is the Villa Tugendhat in the Czech city of Brno – and across the Atlantic to the United States, where American Jews infused the European country house tradition with their own distinctive concerns and experiences. Speakers will also include Professor Dr Lucy Wasensteiner, former director of Liebermann Villa in Berlin, a museum dedicated to the German painter Max Liebermann.
