In conjunction with Art Pursuits/Arena Travel a Study Tour based in Lucca has been organised for June 2022. The tour, exclusive to London Art History Society members, will be led by Dr Geoffrey Nuttall. Offered initially to those members who attended Geoff’s course Lucca and the Art of Luxury and had expressed an interest in participating, a few remaining places are now on offer to the membership as a whole, available on a first come first served basis, with a waiting list to be operated if necessary. Details of the tour can be downloaded via the button on the right-hand side of this page. Applications should be made direct to Art Pursuits – the contact details are at the bottom of the brochure page.
