Let’s get dead serious about Victorian Mourning!

Join us as we uncover the elaborate rituals that transformed Victorian grief into an art form — complete with strict social codes, haunting traditions, and surprisingly theatrical customs.

Week 1: The Art of Mourning – Making Grief Glamorous
Step into a Victorian wake and discover the intricate world of 19th-century mourning etiquette. Learn the “proper” way to grieve as we explore: post-mortem photography, mourning fashion and funeral protocols.

See flyer for sneak peek at Week 2 & 3.
