Conley & silvers presents
Mini Museums Soirée
with Sophie Campbell
Once a month on Mondays in 2021 Sophie will take us to her favourite small museums in the capital: often ones you've never heard of, in places you may never have been to, which makes them even more special. We'll hear the background to the museums - what's it about? Why here? What are the best things to see? - and we'll also have interviews with the curators, who will join us on Zoom for the talk and the Q&A.

Our flat rate payment system guarantees our guides a predictable income, and most importantly adds convenience for you! There are several ways to take part outlined below, but in brief:
You can enroll in a C&S Membership to attend our programs this winter for one flat rate, complete with perks & good karma.

Confidential & Proprietary Information
Mini Museum Soirée (Bonus)
Thursday, April 8th at 5pm Eastern Time
Next to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s London palace, beside the River Thames, sits a mediaeval church that houses an extraordinary museum. Just near here lived the Tradescants, father and son, who were gardeners to the Stuart monarchs and avid collectors in their own right, and their tomb is in the graveyard. So it seems appropriate that this is now home to the Garden Museum, which celebrates all things English gardening and has recently been refurbished with a new cafe, shop and garden.
We are asking our friends to fill out two short surveys to determine where we go next, and we would love to know what you think! You will find the Virtual Soirée Survey here and the in-person Soirée Survey here. Once you have completed a survey, you will receive a complimentary invitation to this tour!
