The Barnes Foundation possesses one of the world's great collections of late 19th and 20th century art. On July 28 at 7:00, art historian Jeff Mishur returns to the library to discuss the Barnes collection, the events that led to the financial meltdown of The Barnes Foundation, and its pending relocation to downtown Philadelphia. Then, as part of our Monday Night at the Movies series, on August 16th at both 1:00 and 7:00 we will show the film The Art of the Steal, a documentary about Albert C. Barnes, his collection and the controversies involving the collection decades after his death. All Monday Night at the Movies showings happen at the Woman's Library Club, 325 Tudor Court.
