Weeknights at the Wagner
The Institute will present four evening lectures this year as part of the Weeknights at the Wagner lecture series. Distinguished scientists and scholars explore current topics in science, history, and art as well as topics that connect to the Institute's history and its museum collection. Corresponding exhibits that highlight treasures from the Institute's Library and Archives are mounted in the Reference Library and can be viewed before and after the lecture. All lectures begin at 5:30 PM. The Institute's museum is open until 5:30 PM.
