Public Book Club | Built: The Hidden Stories Behind Our Structures

Do you love reading, and need somewhere to share that “just finished a book” energy? Come join our Public Book Club!

Created to foster intentional and meaningful conversations related to the exhibitions and art at the museum, the Book Club connects museum guests, volunteers, and staff in a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment. Each month, we’ll meet in the museum library to read and discuss a recent work connected to the museum’s mission and artworks, and make space for everyone to engage in critical conversations and sharing.

This month, we’re discussing Roma Agrawal’s Built: The Hidden Stories Behind Our Structures, in which the author looks at the time, effort, and expertise behind some of the world’s most significant structures throughout history. Built gives us a behind the scenes look at the people, engineering skill, and sheet innovation required to create these feats of architecture. Museum staff members can pick up their free book copy at the library front desk.

Free, no tickets required.
