An evening about time with Philip Dröge

Thursday 29th October, 20:00

Historian Philip Dröge takes you on the fascinating history of time. Travelling around the world, he searches for this most elusive element of our reality. Through the centuries, on both sides of the meridian, he follows the calendar and the traces of clockmakers, monks and watchmakers, from a remote Swedish island to the Greek coast, from temples in India to Aboriginal traditions in Australia. Along the way, he investigates how people through the ages have tried to get a grip on something that cannot actually be caught: time.

Dröge demonstrates how our way of measuring and experiencing time is anything but self-evident.
