Art History Festival 2025 – 15-21 September 2025

Glasgow Life Museums is proud to once again take part in the Art History Festival 2025, with a vibrant programme inspired by this year’s theme: Art and Nature.
Our events, a series of expert talks from our curatorial team, will explore the deep and timeless connections between art, the natural world, and emotional wellbeing. We’ll highlight artworks and objects from a wide range of cultures and historical periods—each drawing inspiration from nature and the natural world.
All talks are free to attend.
The Art History Festival, organised annually by the Association for Art History, is a national celebration of art, design, and architecture.
