Lecture begins in the Fath Auditorium at 2 p.m. with tea and light bites to follow in the Great Hall and Terrace Café.
\nHouse museums and period rooms hold the power to open o ur minds. If we treat them as laboratories for learning\, they can teach us to look closely at the remnants of the past and the complexity of the human relationships intertwined within it. Join Brenton Grom \, Executive Director of the Webb Deane Stevens Museum (Wethersfield\, Co nnecticut)\, for an exploration of the ways in which histori c spaces can help us observe\, listen\, and relate to one another with th e same curiosity and respect we accord to people of the past.
