The Monuments Men Director’s Circle Event
November 21, 2024 at 5:30pm Jepson Center- This event has passed.
Director’s Circle members will be invited to a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear from Robert M. Edsel, bestselling author of The Monuments Men. Edsel is recognized today as one of the world’s foremost advocates for art preservation. While living in Florence, he developed a great passion for art and architecture and became curious as to how so many of the monuments and great works of art survived the thefts and devastation of World War II. Edsel founded the Monuments Men and Women Foundation, and his work has resulted in numerous honors including the National Humanities Medal, America’s highest honor for work in the humanities, presented by the President of the United States at a White House ceremony.
Director’s Circle members only; Cocktail attire. Space is limited.
5:30pm Reception
6:15pm Lecture
RSVPs are required by November 14 to Keeley O’Conner at 912.790.8869 or oconnerk@telfair.org.
