Led by Rachel Preston, Girard Researcher, and Architectural Historian
Museum of International Folk Art, Vernick Auditorium
Doors open at 2:00 PM
The architecture of the Museum of International Folk Art (MOIFA) is a story unto itself.
Girard researcher Rachel Preston will explore the evolution of the buildings and exhibits, investigating how style would define space as the museum evolved into the finest in the world and offer Santa Fe as a place to examine the concepts of modern architecture and design. Ms. Preston’s lecture will surely be a “must-attend event” for any Girard aficionado.
