- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: ?Make a date with Cupid. 

In time for Valentine's Day, join curator Lucy Davis and professors Jane Kingsley-Smith and Genevieve Warwick as they discuss the allure and changing meanings associated with Cupid across literary and visual culture.

While today Cupid most commonly appears in playful form on Valentine’s Day cards, we’ll discover deeper complexities associated with the ancient god of love. 

Delving into Cupid’s darker and more unsettling aspects, the speakers will also consider how, in more recent times, his image has been reinterpreted sometimes to reflect - and even regulate - human desire.

Take part at the museum: Join us at the museum for this special talk, followed by drinks, book signing and after-hours access to our new exhibition, Caravaggio’s Cupid, until 20.45.
