An Illustrated Lecture with Doug Skinner

Date: Tuesday, November 18th
Time: 8pm
Admission: $12 ( Tickets Here )
This lecture is presented by Shannon Taggart, Programmer in Residence of the Morbid Anatomy Museum.

In the first of this two evening series, Doug Skinner discusses the life and work of the extraordinary Elizabethan polymath John Dee: sorcerer, astronomer, astrologer, alchemist, mathematician, antiquarian, imperial apologist, bibliophile, historian, and adviser to the queen. Such a life defies chronology, so his many interconnected activities are approached through the dreams that he noted in his household diary. Each glimpse into Dee’s psyche reveals another facet of his unique career.
