Harvard Club Welcomes Peter Nisbet to the Ackland Museum

Ackland Art Museum
Chapel Hill, NC

LAST CALL! DEADLINE FOR ORDERING TICKETS IS FRIDAY, JULY 9

Peter Nisbet, former Daimler-Benz Curator of Harvard's Busch-Reisinger Museum, was appointed Chief Curator of the Ackland Art Museum at UNC-Chapel Hill in late 2009. Harvard Club members will welcome Nisbet to North Carolina at a private event at the Ackland on Wednesday, July 14.

Participants will also have the opportunity to take guided tours of Fortune Smiles: The Tyche Foundation Gift, an exhibition that opened in May. The exhibit features 51 works of art, representing the most significant acquisition in the history of the Ackland Art Museum. The works were donated by Charles Millard MA '63, PhD '71, an avid collector, connoisseur, and former director of the Ackland (1986-93). Millard will also grace us with his presence at this exclusive Harvard event. Don't miss out!
