About this Event
On December 1st at 6:30 PM, the Eide Center will host a lecture entitled "Books Grow on Trees." Lecture attendees are entitled to come early and see the exhibit beforehand - please do not register separately for both the lecture and the exhibit.
This registration is for those who wish to see the exhibit and do NOT wish to attend the lecture. To attend both, please register at the lecture page.
For those who do not wish to attend the lecture, you are invited to tour the exhibit none the less! Exhibit doors open at 5:30 PM for anyone who wants to explore our current exhbit - Discover Elling Eide and the Eide Library Through the Arts. This exhibition shines a spotlight on Mr. Elling Eide and the art collection he assembled over many years. The exhibition brings together works from China, Japan, and Iran that Elling acquired during his travels, at auction houses, and through his personal connections with artists. It also presents archival materials documenting his research and several works of art only recently rediscovered in the old Eide family home. Together, they reveal Elling as a scholar, traveler, horticulturist, and collector and illuminate the intellectual world from which his remarkable library grew.
We invite you to explore the exhibition at your own pace, and the Eide Library Director, Dr. Yulia Mylnikova, will be delighted to answer your questions.
The exhibit will close promptly at 6:30 PM when the lecture starts.
