Learn about the works of Eero Saarinen

Please join us as we begin the second half of our lecture series, "Architecture Around the World", this month.  This series is a partnership between the St. Louis Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians and the Steedman Architectural Library of SLPL.  First up will be John Guenther speaking on "The Works of Eero Saarinen", sure to be a popular topic here in St. Louis.  

It will be held on Wednesday , September 16th.  Starting at 6:00 pm, the Steedman Room will be open for viewing; the talk will be at 6:30.   NOTE:  Because of our Maurice Sendak exhibit in the Carnegie Room, this talk will be held in the "Training Room", a room that is on the same (second) floor as the Steedman Room.
