Interpreting the Tower

Birkbeck and the Tower of London have teamed up to explore the methods and techniques used to convey 900 years of history. Guided by historians and the Tower's own education team, you will discover some of the secrets of this iconic World Heritage site and explore the divergent ways in which it has been interpreted. Through tours, lectures, seminars, audio-visual events and project-based work, you will make your own assessment of the Tower, the ways in which it is presented and its continuing significance. Expect to have your own ideas about history and its presentation challenged.
