About this event

August 17, 4:00 pm. A most timely subject: art museum curator, lecturer and historian Robin Jaffee Frank returns to present “Love & Loss: Framing Memory in American Portraiture” based on years of research that led to a book and essays on Victorian mourning miniatures. She says, “Understanding the personal stories of love and loss that such keepsakes commemorate returns to them their power to move us. And these exquisite objects and their histories have highly personal resonance today… looking at these objects that attest to the resilience of the human spirit, reinterpreting them for this moment, convinces me that the topic matters now.”

Ventfort Hall has a strict no-refund policy and tickets are nontransferable. Please ensure you have a strong internet connection and access to Zoom before purchasing tickets.

Tickets purchased on Eventbrite are for the streamed lecture online. To see the talk in person please call Ventfort Hall at 413-637-3206.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as an important partner of the Lenox Cultural District, one of the five such Berkshire County districts, Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum was built in 1893 for George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of legendary financier J. Pierpont Morgan. Tours of the historic mansion are offered daily, as well as Tea & Talks, such exhibitions as the Bellefontaine Collection, concerts, theater and other programs. This elegant Jacobean-Revival Berkshire “cottage” is open to the public year-round and is available for private rental. Ventfort Hall, also an Official Project of Save America’s Treasures program sponsored by The White House, has undergone substantial restoration, which continues.
