The story of America may be seen through many forms, among them the complex crafts of porcelain, silver, and printmaking. Over the course of three evenings—held virtually—museum curators and guest speakers from across the nation examine the legacy of the American Revolution through works held in the care of the Bayou Bend Collection.
