Pleasing Truths, Framing Identity: A Symposium

Events Calendar

9 am - 4 pm 

This year’s theme will explore the concept of identity and how it is conveyed as introduced in the DAR Museum’s exhibit, Pleasing Truths: Power and Portraits in the American Home. This exhibition takes a deeper dive into the context and symbolism of early portraits to better understand the transmission of ideas and their impact on people over time. Listen to a full day of speakers and tour the exhibit with William Strollo, Curator of Exhibitions.
