About

'Ghastly Good Taste': Britsish Domestic Interiors 1880-1980 - Matthew Williams

This lecture looks at the enormous changes in our homes over a hundred year period, encompassing aspects of household taste from Victorian clutter to the psychedelic 'throw away' furnishings of the 1970s. Although in many ways light-hearted, the lecture examines how social upheaval, war and technological advances transformed our houses.
