This year we will hear from Margot Kopera, Director of Learning & Interpretation at the Maryland Center for History and Culture. Margot will speak about the Center’s featured exhibits, including the new traveling show The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited.
Developed by Museum of the Moving Image, this 5,000-square-foot, Muppet-filled multimedia exhibition is full of hundreds of objects, including puppets, character sketches, storyboards, scripts, costumes, and film and television clips. Margot will also discuss how the Center reaches out to new audiences.
The full menu will soon be posted on the Society’s online event signup and payment page. Individuals wishing to pay by check may reserve their spot early by mailing payment to HSCC, attention Jason Illari. Cost is $40 for members, $45 for non-members. Reservations and payments need to be received by October 20.
We look forward to seeing you on October 31st!
