British Museum: Europe 1800-1900 Gallery + pub social

**Unlike our regular events, this event has no attendee limit and we visit just ONE gallery in the British Museum.** **How does it work?: We meet and greet in the British Museum Court cafe first. Then we explore one room in the museum for 45 minutes - this is NOT a guided tour of the room, and you're free to wander around at your own pace. Then we head to the pub!** **THIS MONTH WE'RE VISITING THE EUROPE 1800-1900 GALLERY (ROOM 47)** The 19th century saw unprecedented economic growth in Europe, accompanied by immense social and political upheavals. For Britain, the 19th century was a period of stability and industrial supremacy. On the continent, France underwent three revolutions, while the second half of the century saw the unification of Germany and Italy. The nationalist sentiment that lay behind these events often paid homage to the great ages of the past. This is reflected in the objects shown in Room 47, many of which have borrowed motifs from earlier historical periods. During this period, international exhibitions fostered the growth of machine technology, yet traditional craftsmanship flourished alongside. **Read more** **[here](https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/galleries/europe-1800-1900).** **A Dracula Daily fan?:** Bram Stoker used the British Museum Reading Room to investigate maps, travel accounts, and folklore regarding Transylvania to write Dracula in 1897. In the opening chapter of Dracula, protagonist Jonathan Harker visits the British Museum library to research Transylvanian geography and Castle Dracula before his fateful journey. Read more **[here](https://ianfarrington.wordpress.com/2025/11/27/draculas-london-the-british-museum/).** Room 47 showcases the technological developments of the time Bram Stoker and the characters were living, as well stunning traditional craftsmanship. **THE PLAN:** **3:00-3.40pm: MEET AND GREET IN BRITISH MUSEUM COURT CAFE** Look for the hosts wearing LoMAZ badges/LoMAZ signs on the table. **3:40pm-4.30pm: EXPLORE THE EUROPE 1800–1900 GALLERY (ROOM 47)** Feel free to wander around at your own pace. **NB.
