Utica, N.Y. — Munson will feature Patrick Bringley, “New York Times” best-selling author of “All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me,” in a lively evening talk at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, in the Museum of Art’s Sinnott Family–Bank of Utica Auditorium.
Bringley will share his decade-long experience as a guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, chronicled in his highly acclaimed book. His memoir provides an insider’s view of the Met and reflects on the healing power of art in the wake of his own personal loss. Afterwards, Bringley will be available to sign his book.
“All the Beauty in the World” was a recent selection for the Munson Book Club, which meets in the Museum’s Art Research Library. Designed to foster engaging discussions on books that explore the art world and its intersections with history, culture, and creativity, the Munson Book Club is free with registration.
