Student curators Lacy Nicholas and Rose Vance-Grom will discuss the history of the collection, followed by a guided tour highlighting key pieces within the exhibit. The presentation will cover a wide variety of topics, including the oldest items in the collection, the historic kiln sites of modern-day Thailand, and the history of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain.
Limited space is available for this free event, and registration is required.
This event is part of the Cummings Center’s Brown Bag History series, which invites guests to drop in, bring a meal, and enjoy a lunchtime conversation about history and culture.
