Gallery Talk: The Melodeon and Making Music in the Home
Join Brenda Tudor, Ruthmere docent, as she presents a Gallery Talk called "The Melodeon and Making Music in the Home." She discusses the origins of humans creating music and the development of instruments over time, focusing on organs and the melodeon. The melodeon on display at the Havilah Beardsley House on Ruthmere Museum Campus was the inspiration for this talk.
This Gallery Talk was presented at Ruthmere on Wednesday, August 7th, 2024.
Ruthmere presents Gallery Talks the first week of each month, which feature a twenty-minute discussion on an object/artwork within the Ruthmere collection, a person or event in local history, or a topic from the Victorian/Edwardian eras. 2024 Gallery Talks are free and open to the public thanks to our sponsors. This Gallery Talk was sponsored by Margaret & John Frechette and Brenda & Randall Johnson.
