The influence of the Ancient Egyptians can be seen throughout Europe. Their architecture has influenced our buildings, our museums are full of their statues, and there have been endless book, films, and televison shows about this mysterious civilisation. This talk will examine how far the craze for all things Egyptian has influenced us and why Ancient Egypt has held a place in Western imaginations for over 2000 years, from Alexander the Great to a West Kensington branch of Homebase.

Tucked away on one of Nottingham’s busiest streets behind a discreet door you’ll find one of the city’s best kept secrets – Bromley House Library, an historic subscription library which celebrated 200 years in 2016, set within a Georgian building. With over 40,000 volumes on everything from fiction and theology to natural history and French literature, the earliest book in the collection was published in the 16th Century.
Bromley House Library is also home to a secret city-centre garden, with mature trees and decorative plantings, ideal for relaxing in with a good book on a sunny day. To enjoy the beautiful library, take part in one of the FREE weekly tours (Wednesday 2.30 and 4.00 booking in advance advised) or attend one of the 200 th anniversary celebration events and weekly talks, including an outdoor Shakespeare theatre performance (April 2016) and a family fun day (August 2016). Talks and tours also available at £6 per person and must be booked in advance.
