Aldous Huxley: kick-off meeting

Programme (2024/25)

The Huxley Club aims to equip its members with the skills and the academic background to act as
student guides of the Aldous Huxley Centre Zürich, which is run by Robin Hull, curator of the
International Aldous Huxley Association (IAHS) and the Aldous Huxley Centre Zürich. The
permanent exhibition of Huxley’s works at the Aldous Huxley Centre Zürich is of interest to
universities throughout the world and baccalaureate schools in Switzerland and in neighbouring
countries (Gymnasia, Lycée).

Members of the Huxley Club spend a year studying the main works of Aldous Huxley and
familiarising themselves with the contents of the exhibition in order to be able to assist the curator
of the centre in showing groups of students from schools and universities around. To qualify as a
museum guide students need to attend at least 8 of the lectures listed below, preferably over an
academic year, and give evidence of having read the texts concerned. In addition, they need to
attend the final induction session for museum guides.
