SUMMARY:Serpent in Eden: Foreign Meddling and Partisan Politics in James Madison's America Lecture

SUMMARY:Highrises Art Deco: 100 Spectacular Skyscrapers from the Roaring ’20s to the Great Depression
DESCRIPTION:In Highrises Art Deco\, digital artist Chris Hytha has exploited drone photography to create stunning views of skyscrapers across the United States.

Join us for a free virtual program on August 13 at 6pm to take a closer look at the character and craftsmanship of Art Deco towers across America through the drone’s-eye views of the Highrises Collection. Hytha and Houser have traveled coast to coast to document noteworthy landmarks of the Jazz Age\, focusing on lesser-known architectural marvels beyond the boundaries of New York City and Chicago.

SUMMARY:McNally Jackson After Hours: Giovanni's Room
DESCRIPTION:Do you regret not talking to the hot person on the train reading a book you like? Did your last Hinge date reveal that they haven’t read a book since high school? If you replied yes to any of the above\, you are invited to join a new McNally Jackson book club! In lieu of a traditional sit-down discussion we’ll mix and mingle at our Seaport beer and wine bar and discuss Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin. It’s James Baldwin’s 100th birthday\, so we have no choice but to pick up his beautiful\, groundbreaking novel\, Giovanni’s Room. Originally published in 1956\, it tells the story of David\, an American living in Paris who has just proposed to his girlfriend\, but finds himself embroiled in an affair with a bartender named Giovanni. Recently named one of The Atlantic’s top 100 books of the past 100 years\, this novel is full of beauty\, desire\, and heartbreak.

SUMMARY:Fresh Prints
DESCRIPTION:Open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. Established in 1775\, the original Bowne & Co.\, Inc. was one of New York’s oldest printing firms. The Bowne & Co. that you can experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing. Advanced registration is encouraged for this free open house but walkups will be accommodated as possible. Anyone ages 12 and up is welcome.

SUMMARY:“UnBroken” Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:UnBroken chronicles the plight of the seven Weber siblings who\, following their mother’s murder at Auschwitz\, evaded certain capture and death as mere children in war-torn Nazi Germany. After being hidden in a laundry hut by a benevolent farmer\, the children spent two harrowing years on their own. Emboldened by their father’s mandate that they ‘always stay together\,’ their saga culminates in a painful ultimatum: for that which would save them\, would also tear them apart.  Filmmaker Beth Lane\, daughter of the youngest Weber sibling\, embarks on a quest to retrace their steps\, seeking answers to long-held questions about her family’s survival. The film examines the journey of the Webers as told through conversations with living siblings – now in their eighties and nineties – while Beth and her crew road trip across Germany\, following the courageous\, tumultuous\, and harrowing path taken by her family over seventy years ago. Following the film there will be a brief Q&A with director Beth Lane.
