34th Annual Brazos Forum
KALEIDOSCOPE: A WORLD OF WONDER Wednesday, October 24th
This year’s feature speakers will enlighten us on three different topics. A Chaco Canyon National Park Ranger will discuss the Anaszai, or Ancient Ones, who came from an unknown place, built amazing pueblo homes, then disappeared again. Winterthur Museum’s resident scientist will tell us about fakes and forgeries in the art world; how to recognize, analyze, and test them; and what to do to avoid being victimized. A curator for the Preservation Society of Newport, RI will focus on the homes and life styles of the rich and famous during the Gilded Age, including their private residences, their “cottages” (actually mansions) in the Newport, and their travels…especially on the ill-fated Titanic. The Forum is held at the Mayborn Museum on the Baylor campus, and the Titanic Exhibit will also be available during the Forum. In addition, Waco’s own David A. Smith, (Baylor professor, nationally-known speaker, author, newspaper columnist) will offer concluding remarks. Luncheon at the Mayborn, with entertainment, is included. For more details and pricing, visit www.brazosforum.org or call 254-753-1502. Reservations close on 10/18.
