Rachael Z. DeLue, art historian and Princeton professor, will deliver this year’s annual Keating lecture, entitled “Against the Grain, or What We Can Learn from Early American Museums That Got It Wrong.” From today’s perspective, early museums in the United States failed—sometimes egregiously—in their missions to educate and to tell the truth. DeLue will explore what those failures might teach us about museums in the present. Reception to follow. Details for this free event here
