‘Thomas Becket: murder and the making of a saint’ is currently on view at the British Museum (May 20 – August 22, 2021). It is the first major exhibition to explore the remarkable life, death, and legacy of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, and thorn in the side of Henry II. Discussion will focus on the process of curating the exhibition, new research on Becket’s Miracle Windows, and recently published work on the digital modelling of Becket’s various shrines in Canterbury Cathedral.
Panelists: Naomi Speakman, Lloyd de Beer, Rachel Koopmans, Leonie Seliger, and John Jenkins; with moderator Elizabeth Morrison.
