Beginning this month, join us the third Tuesday of every month for coffee and conversation followed by a lecture or film screening. This month, Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph. D., Curator of Prints and Drawings, will discuss Kingdom Animalia, an exhibition drawn from the Museum’s collection offering a 500-year sampling of the wide-ranging depiction of the kingdom Animalia in prints, drawings, and posters.

Please Note: This month’s program will take place entirely in the Fields Ballroom, Mark Building. Coffee at 9:15 a.m. and lecture at 10:15 a.m. Those attending the lecture are also welcome to explore the galleries after the talk. This series is free for adults 62 and over and is made possible through the Marguerite and Harry Kendall Education Fund. Additional support comes from Rick and Erika Miller.
