Art Lecture: “A Century In The Making”

The Bermuda National Gallery invites all to learn more about the Smithsonian’s newest museum at the lecture “A Century in the Making: Building the National Museum of African American History and Culture” on Thursday, June 29th, as a part of their PartnerRe Art Lecture Series.

This will start at 5.30pm at the Bermuda National Gallery in the City Hall and Art Centre.

The event will feature Joanne Hyppolite, Ph.D., a Museum Curator at the National Museum of African American History and Culture [NMAAHC], which opened on September 24th, 2016, as the Smithsonian’s newest museum.

The exhibition “A Century in the Making: Building the National Museum of African American History and Culture,” co-curated by Dr. Joanne Hyppolite, recounts the lobbying and advocacy efforts – dating back to 1915 – which made the building of this museum possible.

Topics explored in this exhibition presentation include: the original source of inspiration for the museum, the legislative efforts that led to the museum’s establishment, how the museum built its collection, and an architectural overview of the museum building.

An inside view of the 12 inaugural exhibitions will also be presented.

The cost is $10 for members nad $15 for non-members.
