The first lecture of the Mary Atkins Series is sold out. The program on Thursday, Sept. 27 features Robert Edsel, the author of Rescuing Da Vinci and co-producer of The Rape of Europa. If you were lucky enough to get a ticket, you are in for a great program about the men and women who recovered some of the world's greatest masterpieces after World War II, which included former Museum directors Paul Gardner and Laurence Sickman.
For those who can't make it to the first lecture, be sure to join us for the rest of the series including artist Otto Piene, art critic and writer Paul Goldberger and a performance by the Kansas City Chorale.
