Egyptomania!

Egyptomania!

Presenter: Celeste Fetta, Adult Programs Manager, VMFA

What do Napoleon and King Tut have in common — besides being the same height? They both fueled the Egyptian look in decorative arts and culture, spawning sphinx tables, pyramid clocks, and Cleopatra eyes. Discover how these eclectic objects came to be part of the multi-century craze known as Egyptomania! 

Now in its 9^th season, Centuries of Art @ Your Library is a lecture series on art  that is a partnership between This Century Gallery, Williamsburg Regional Library and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA).  These programs have been organized by the Office of Statewide Partnerships of the VMFA, Richmond, and are supported by the Paul Mellon Endowment.

The lectures are free of charge.
