The Metropolitan Museum in the Progressive Era – Jeffrey Trask

In the early 20th century, a new generation of New York cultural leaders revolutionized ideas about art institutions by bringing them out of the realm of exclusivity and insisting that their collections and galleries serve the general public, as libraries and schools did. Hear how The Metropolitan Museum of Art stood at the center of this movement to preserve artifacts from the American past for social change and Americanization.

Cap off the afternoon with wine and cheese selected by our chef at an intimate reception with our expert speaker.
