Wright Museum host lecture on 'Art & World War II'

WOLFEBORO — The Wright Museum will welcome art historian Jane Oneail for a lecture on Tuesday, June 21 on "Art & World War II: Hitler’s Cultural Ambitions and Nazi Theft." This is the sixth program of the Wright Museum’s 2022 Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney Education Series.

From his failed attempts as a painter to his grand plans to loot European masterworks, art played a central role in Hitler’s personal life and political strategies. Learn more about Nazi exhibitions of so-called “degenerate art,” theft from European churches, museums and private collections as well as the challenge of restoring works to their rightful heirs today.

Jane Oneail curates and delivers art appreciation programs to audiences throughout New England. For more information visit iamculturallycurious.com
