Shirley M. Mueller, MD, discusses the “neuroeconomics” of collecting
On Tuesday, October 22 at 5 p.m. , Shirley M. Mueller, MD will present a lecture in the Barone Campus Center’s Dogwood Room. An internationally known collector and scholar of Chinese export porcelain, Dr. Mueller is also board-certified in Neurology and Psychiatry. This unique conjunction of interests led her to explore the “neuroeconomics” of collecting in the 2019 book Inside the Head of a Collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play .
This lecture is presented in conjunction with Ink and Time: European Prints from the Wetmore Collection (Bellarmine Hall Galleries, September 12 - December 21, 2024). The prints in that collection were put together in the early 20th century by Fanny Wetmore, a New London, CT native who donated her collection to Connecticut College.

This talk will also be livestreamed on Vimeo (please check our Eventbrite page for updates - a registration link will be added there soon!)
Dr. Mueller’s talk is being presented in partnership with the Arts Institute and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.
