Talk on Princess Beatrice and the Carisbrooke Museum

Thursday 9^th May 2024

11:00 - 12:00 (meet at 10:40)

In the Education Room at Osborne

Rosemary will be talking about the founding of the museum and the challenges of its early years, in the context of Princess Beatrice's  life:   how the founding of the museum in 1898 was a response to personal tragedy;  how she was able to take a personal interest in the museum during her times of residency at the Castle;  and how she made plans for the future of the museum just before her death in 1944.  

It won't be a talk on the life of Beatrice, but Rosemary will be touching on aspects of her life and personality.

Cost £5 (to include a coffee/tea and biscuit)

Members will be met at the green gate outside Petty Officers' Quarters at 10:40 am and given a lanyard.  Please do NOT come through POQ.
