Jean Michel Massing retirement celebrations carousel

The retirement celebrations in honour of Jean Michel Massing, Professor of History of Art and Fellow of King’s College (since 1982), will be held on 1-2 July 2016.
On Friday 1 July an international symposium will bring together a large number of Jean Michel’s former students in academia, museums and the art world. It will be followed by a drinks reception in King’s College Chapel and dinner in Hall. After these festivities, which are open to all, a reunion of former King’s Art History students will be held on Saturday 2 July, commencing after breakfast and with lunch in Hall.
Needless to say, Jean Michel would be delighted to see you.
