On Tuesday, October 22 at 5 p.m., Shirley M. Mueller, MD will present a lecture in the Barone Campus Center’s Dogwood Room. An internationally known collector and scholar of Chinese export porcelain, Dr. Mueller is also board-certified in Neurology and Psychiatry. This unique conjunction of interests led her to explore the “neuroeconomics” of collecting in the 2019 book Inside the Head of a Collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play.
This lecture is presented in conjunction with Ink and Time: European Prints from the Wetmore Collection (Bellarmine Hall Galleries, September 12 – December 21, 2024). The prints in that collection were put together in the early 20th century by Fanny Wetmore, a New London, CT native who donated her collection to Connecticut College.
