Program Description

Description

In this class, we'll explore how the misnomer 'Dark Ages' was incorrectly applied to the 12th-15th centuries.

It was a time of technological, philosophical, and artistic innovation that paved the way for geniuses of the Renaissance like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarotti. Find out about the invention of the mechanical clock, the architectural grandeur of Gothic France, and the literary achievements of Chaucer and St. Thomas Aquinas.

Please join us for a night of debunking high-school text book myths of an exciting and hugely important time in history.
