Topic: Art or History? The challenge of collections management at the Palace of the Sun King
Speaker: Dr. Laurent Salomé, Director, National Museum of Versailles Palace and Trianon
The Dr. Coleman Mopper Memorial Lecture was established in 1997 in memory of Dr. Coleman Mopper. Dr. Mopper and his late wife, Shirley, were longstanding members and patrons of the DIA. The Moppers, avid collectors of European paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, made numerous gifts to the museum, and were recognized with a DIA Lifetime Service award in 1996. In Dr. Mopper’s memory, friends generously endowed an annual lecture on European art to be given by an internationally recognized specialist.
