The Chrysler Museum and the Norfolk Sister City Association present two lectures in conjunction with the exhibition, The Old Order and the New: P.H. Emerson and Photography, 1885-1895. Curator Hope Kingsley’s lecture will place Emerson’s photographs in the context of 19th-century painters. Historian and East Anglian native Jayne Forsythe Tracey will speak on the past, present, and future of the region that inspired P. H. Emerson. The afternoon closes with reflections on the parallels between Emerson’s Norfolk Broads and its sister city, Norfolk, Virginia. Cost: Free and open to the public.
