Reflections Through Time: Mirrors in the Putnam Museum Collection
Join us on Thursday, June 18, and step “through the looking glass” for an engaging conversation exploring the intriguing, and sometimes “magical”, history of mirrors. Drawing from artifacts in the Putnam Museum collection, this program will take you on a journey through time, revealing what people used to see their reflections before the invention of silvered glass and how mirrors have reflected the cultures and resources of their eras.
We’ll also take a closer look at modern glass mirrors, including one remarkable piece that was hidden inside a Putnam Museum wall for more than 40 years.
Thursday, June 18th
Drinks at 5 PM (Cash Bar with snacks)
Speaker at 5:30 PM
History on Tap is Pay What You Can, Pay What It’s Worth—join us for an evening of history, conversation, and community!
