The Bapsybanoo Marchioness of Winchester Lecture with Dr Neil MacGregor, Former Director of the British Museum and currently Chair of the Steering Committee for Humboldt Forum, Berlin.
Neil MacGregor explores the stories and representations of faith in material culture. Fire in particularly has been a powerful symbol for religious ideas. Exploring those representations, the talk will take the audience on a journey across times and religions, from the burning bush of the Exodus story to the flames representing the Spirit at Pentecost.
