Fashioning Victoria: curating the royal image for dynasty, nation and empire is a collaboration between Historic Royal Palaces and University of Warwick, funded by an AHRC Research Networking Grant. Project partners include the Royal Collections Trust, Paul Mellon Center for Studies in British Art, the Bodleian Library, and TORCH (The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities).

This is the question that SPIEGEL editor Dr. Eva-Maria Schnurr will discuss with the author Dr. Gerhard Scheit and the historians Dr. Christine Achinger, University of Warwick, and Dr. Nicolas Berg, Simon-Dubnow-Institut Leipzig at the Deutschen Historischen Museum on 18 June.
