A special three-part series hosted by the Mirowitz Center, featuring Elana Kaplan, an independent museum educator and lecturer. In January, shake off the winter chill with Elana – a former St. Louisan and an educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for 25 years – by looking at period rooms and cozy furniture in The Met’s American Wing, currently commemorating its 100th anniversary. Learn about the designers as well as the owners, and how they’re all connected to our nation’s history and the American experience.
View in person at the Mirowitz Center (live-streamed) or watch from home via Zoom. Part 2 of 3; attend both remaining sessions, or just one.
