This venue is handicap accessible. Parking is available behind the building and on the street.

This Lecture will focus on the Newark Museum's American silver collection and how Ulysses Dietz tripled it during his time as curator. We'll hear about why, and how, items were selected for the collection. Ulysses has written a book on this topic, which is pending publication by Schiffer Books.
