Talk and Tea: Depictions of St John the Baptist in the Museum Collections

Discover more about the Order of St John, St John Ambulance and the history of Clerkenwell at our free Ten-Minute Talk and Tea events which take place on the second Thursday of every month. Tea and biscuits provided.

This talk will explore depictions of St John the Baptist in paintings, sculpture, books, seals, coins and jewellery in the Museum’s collections. We will consider the scripture and medieval legend that have informed the rich iconography of the Order’s patron saint, and how the medieval Order embraced and utilised this visual language.

This is a free event. Drop-ins are welcome, or you can pre-register through Eventbrite. The event will take place in the Museum Galleries which are on ground level with step-free access throughout.
