Having achieved an MA in Art History at Glasgow University, he worked for many years in the art world at both an international auction house and an antique dealer. In recent years he has returned to academia, achieving an MA in Classical Civilisation in 2011, and has recently completed a Ph.D. in which he analyzed eighteenth-century attitudes towards the ancient Roman world. In addition to his work for Context Travel, Alan also writes catalog essays on Contemporary Art for a leading auctioneer.

Wonderful presentation. I will definitely sign up for more with Dr Montgomery.
Dr. Montgomery was an excellent presenter. I truly enjoyed the seminar. I only wish the pandemic was over and I could book a flight!
Dr. Montgomery always presents a great deal of wonderful information. I have enjoyed so many of his conversations these past months. He does not repeat himself, however where appropriate he ties past conversations to the current one.
