Guided tour of Lowther Lodge - 2.00pm

Join us as we delve into the stories, contexts, and interpretations of the objects on display throughout Lowther Lodge, the ‘home of geography’.

Discover how these items came to be part of the Society’s Collections, the significance they hold within the history of exploration and geography, and the narratives they reveal about the individuals and cultures connected to them.

From maps, artworks, to artifacts, including a globe from the Great Exhibition of 1851, this tour offers a unique opportunity to engage with our Collections in a meaningful and thought-provoking way.

Whether you are a long-serving Fellow or new to the Society, this tour promises to deepen your understanding and appreciation of the rich history housed at Lowther Lodge.
