Join the Museum Book Club at OKCMOA and connect more with our special exhibitions through lively conversation.
Led by Museum educator Tori Waldron, each session features a specially selected book that complements the themes of a current exhibition. Enjoy refreshments—including a themed snack and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages—in the Museum Store before diving into a guided discussion that links literature to the art on view in our galleries.
The Glassmaker
The Museum Book Club meeting will feature a guided discussion of The Glassmaker by Tracy Chevalier in the OKCMOA’s galleries on December 11 from 5:30 pm to 7 pm.
“It is 1486, and Venice is a wealthy, opulent center for trade. Orsola Rosso is the eldest daughter in a family of glassblowers on Murano, the island revered for the craft. As a woman, she is not meant to work with glass—but she has the hands for it, the heart, and a vision. When her father dies, she teaches herself to make glass beads in secret, and her work supports the Rosso family’s fortunes.” (source: https://www.amazon.com/Glassmaker-Novel-Tracy-Chevalier-ebook/dp/B0CJBRHGSG)
