WG Sebald : Lines of Sight at Norwich Castle
12 May –5 January 2020 

W.G. SEBALD : Far Way—But from Where? 
10 May - 18 August 2019 £8 | £7 Sainsbury Centre,  Mezzanine Gallery
Two exhibitions in Norwich are currently celebrating what would have been WG Sebald's 75th birthday had he survived a tragic car crash in 2001. Professor Sebald, or Max as he was commonly known, was a German academic based at UEA in Norwich where he also set up home. He was fascinated by Browne and quoted him often in his books. One of his most famous, Rings of Saturn follows a slow pensive walking journey in Suffolk. Find out about the exhibitions here and various events and articles linked to the exhibitions.

Recently at Norwich Castle
​A talk by Professor Claire Preston, Queen Mary University (London)
Thomas Browne’s Retreat to Earth
Friday 22 November 2019, 2.30-3.30pm
Admission free with museum entry


This talk is related to  an exhibition celebrating the work of the author W G Sebald on the 75th anniversary of his birth.
​

This unprecedented exhibition brings together a diverse selection of celebrated artworks, curious objects, archive material and the author’s own, unseen photographs to tell the story behind the creation of one of East Anglia’s most famous literary masterpieces, The Rings of Saturn (1995).

From the mystery of Sir Thomas Browne’s skull to the secret landscapes of the Cold War, from the ghostly vessels of the vanished herring fleets to intricate pattern books of Norwich silk weavers, this exhibition gathers the threads of Sebald’s enigmatic text to present a uniquely poetic visual portrait of East Anglia that will appeal to both those familiar and new to his work.
​The exhibition is at Norwich Castle until 5 January 2020.
This site is part of the Thomas Browne Project with the aim to collate information and contributions about Sir Thomas Browne, his work, life and times in Norwich and make them accessible to the public,  edited and published by Marion Catlin of The Shift Norwich
