A 400-year tradition of free public education in London
In short: Explore a musical performance by Professor Christopher Page that sits within one of the world's oldest traditions of open learning. This video highlights how accessible knowledge has been preserved and shared for centuries.
Gresham College has maintained a commitment to free public lectures since 1597. This enduring tradition ensures that academic discourse remains accessible to everyone, rather than being restricted to an elite few.
Today, the college produces approximately five public lectures every week. These are made available for free download online, contributing to a massive archive of over 1,600 lectures intended to provide 'brain food' to the general public.
