Bruce Museum Presents Antarctic Lecture

Margie Turrin, Coordinator at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, will present West Meets East in a Unique Antarctic Voyage on Tuesday, November 18, at 7:00 pm at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT.

In late fall 2013, a small group from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory traveled to the Antarctica Peninsula with The Antarctic Forum, an interdisciplinary group of Chinese leaders and elites. Turrin will discuss how the magic of Antarctica served as a backdrop for conversations on entering a new era for Antarctica, with China and the world moving towards environmental conservation, harmonious social development, and societal responsibility.

Doors open at 6:30 pm for a reception with light refreshments and open galleries, and the lecture begins at 7:00 pm. Reservations are required by calling 203-413-6757.

The lecture is free to Museum members and students with identification, and $15 for non-members. This program complements the Bruce Museum’s new exhibition Antarctica: Photographs by Diane Tuft, on view through February 1, 2015.

The Bruce Museum is located at One Museum Drive in Greenwich, Connecticut. Free on-site parking is available and the Museum is accessible to individuals with disabilities. For more information, visit www.brucemuseum.org.
