Join us for a lecture by John Zukowsky, former Chief Curator and Interim Senior Vice President for Exhibitions and Interpretation at the Intrepid Sea, Air, & Space Museum,on Wednesday, April 16 at 3 p.m., in Wrench Auditorium on MU campus. Zukowsky will speak to the recent history of the designing and building of military museums, as well as his advocacy for such historic spaces.
This lecture is hosted by the Department of Architectural Studies and the Center for the Humanities as part of their Veterans Humanities Initiative and is free and open to the public.
The Veterans Humanities Initiataive mission is twofold: to create programming for military-connected individuals and to represent the breadth and variety of disciplines and approaches in the humanities. John Zukowsky’s talk will be of interest to those who served in the military as well as other military-connected individuals by introducing them to the ways that the military is represented and commemorated in museums, while simultaneously exposing our community to the importance of architectural study as a means of understanding and augmenting human experience.
