Join us for this free talk by the author of the bestselling memoir, All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley.
Patrick Bringley worked for a decade as a guard in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the subject of his internationally bestselling memoir, All the Beauty in the World, named the best art book of 2023 by the Sunday Times. Patrick also adapted his book into a "spellbinding" (the Wall Street Journal) one-man play which he performed Off Broadway last spring.
Join him as he brings you inside of one of the world's greatest art museums and introduces its masterpieces and the talented, overlooked people who keep them safe. Admission free.
