Museum of Classical Archaeology, Faculty of ClassicsSidgwick Avenue, CB3 9DA

Please note the date change. This event is now on the 19th March 2025. 

Grab a glass of wine and engage in an evening of unconventional conversation where we will celebrate the body, both sculpted and flesh-and-blood. What is the place of our body when we enter a museum? How can we find space amongst a roll-call of sculpted perfection for our own embodiment, however messy and real? Choreographer Sivan Rubenstein’s dance performance will foreground the mother’s growing body in transformation, while Sarah Fine and, Museum Director, Caroline Vout bring philosophical discourse back to the body. This event is part of Cambridge Festival. Accessibility: The Cast Gallery is on the first floor. We provide step-free access via our lift. To use the lift please call 01223 330402 on your arrival and we will send down a member of staff to assist you. An accessible toilet is available on the ground floor.
