SUMMARY:Coffee with a Curator
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate\, behind-the-scenes morning at the museum.  \n\n\n\nSee the museum in a whole new light. Peek into the museum’s hidden treasures\, enjoy complimentary coffee and pastries\, and embark on a rare visit to our active research labs and collections vault. The morning concludes with an interactive discussion with William D. Wells Chair of Science Dr. Ed Fleming\, who will share updates on the museum’s work with Maya weavers and artisans in Chiapas\, Mexico.  \n\n\n\nThrough this longstanding partnership\, museum archaeologists have built a world-class collection of contemporary Maya artifacts. With the help of Maya advisors\, the team recently digitized the weavings and artifacts from the collection so they are accessible to Maya artisans and scholars.  \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to see the collection in person and to hear more about the project. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This event is a limited-capacity engagement and not open to the general public. Invitations are available for museum donors and members only. Want to learn more? Contact development@smm.org.
