The event kicks off at 1.30pm and will include a talk by Robert Dunlop on the complex romantic relationship between Rose La Touche and John Ruskin. Leading Ruskin scholar Professor Jim Spates will also attend with a group of his students from the USA.

The afternoon will include a visit to the La Touche mausoleum in Harristown estate.
