Please join us for the first talk of the lecture series accompanying Gods, Glory & Spirituality: Historical Fictions of the Sigmund Morgenroth Collection of Renaissance Medals and Plaquettes. 

The grandson of Jewish businessman and collector Sigmund Morgenroth presents how his grandfather built and preserved an astounding collection of medals and plaquettes, and supported artists and writers, such as Max Beckmann and Walter Benjamin, while fleeing persecution of two world wars. 

The Museum galleries will be open until 7 pm for guests attending the lecture.
