About the Event:

The opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb in November 1922 led to a renewal of interest in ancient Egypt and related antiquarian forms, shaping the design of a memorable group of Art Deco structures in New York City. Join architectural historian Matt Postal and discover the sources, history, and design of these marvelously ornate and exotic wonders, including Thomas W. Lamb’s extraordinary Pythian Temple, William Van Allen’s celebrated Chrysler Building, and Woodlawn Cemetery’s haunting Straus family mausoleum, featuring metalwork by Samuel Yellin and funerary sculpture by Lee Lawrie.

Even though this event is online, it will include a live PowerPoint — with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device — as well as a Q&A session with participants. 

Can’t join us at the time of the live event? No problem! Those who register will receive a recording of the entire program a few days after the live presentation. When you sign up for the program you have the opportunity to watch, or rewatch, the recording at a time more convenient for your schedule.
