Join us for The Language of Dalnavert: An Insider’s Perspective of the House and the Victorians, a monthly lecture series with our Collections Registrar, Inés Bonacossa. Each month, Inés will share her insight into different aspects of Dalnavert’s collection and Victorian culture. In January 2026, learn about the history of papier mâché. If you only know papier mâché from elementary school arts and crafts, you’ll be shocked to discover the breadth and beauty that used to be achieved with this technique.

Tickets are $10 per person per lecture and free for Dalnavert Museum members.

Please note: This is not a workshop. Historical papier mâché techniques will be discussed, but no papier mâché creations will be made.
