Exhibition curators Brian Leigh Dunnigan and Clayton Lewis will lead this in-gallery program for adults. Their jointly curated exhibition, Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America: The William L. Clements Library Collection, draws on the rich collection of early printed and manuscript Americana held by the University of Michigan's Clements Library, where both are curators. The maps, prints, and documents on display demonstrate the means by which information about America was conveyed to a European audience. This informal gallery talk will offer an opportunity to look more closely at the items in the exhibition, placing them in the context of the visual and print culture of the time.

This program is free and open to the public. However, since space is limited, spaces will be reserved via umma-tours@umich.edu. Please register to secure your place.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
