Tour Director

Tour Director Meg Bernstein, PhD, is an art historian specialising in medieval European art and architecture, with a particular focus on the parish church as a space shaped by community, devotion and design. She earned her PhD in Art History from UCLA, following earlier degrees from Smith College, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Yale University. Her research explores how buildings and artworks were experienced in their original contexts, engaging with sculpture, ritual, materiality, and the social life of parish churches between 1150 and 1300. Meg has co-organised major conferences and edited an open-access volume on the art history of the parish church, while also publishing widely on sculpture, wall painting and digital humanities.
