Historic House Museums in the age of Trump
August 15, 2018 |
Tickets are free; Reservation Required; limited capacity
Often running against professional best practice, Franklin Vagnone frames his preservation and public history within an intimate backdrop of personal experience. Combining both visual and literary fragments, Mr. Vagnone will present examples of how house museums & historic sites are finding themselves at the center of cultural shifts and struggling to find a unique voice within the field of Public History and Preservation.
Frank’s work ranges from miniature site-specific experiences, to expansive, conceptual, city-wide public history happenings. He is author of numerous articles as well as co-authored The Anarchist’s Guide to Historic House Museums (with Ms. Deborah Ryan) – a controversial book about preservation and historic cultural sites. The book, now in its 7rd printing since 2016, was voted best Museum Education-related book of 2015 by Museum Educator’s Monitor, and became #1 bestseller (Museum-related) on Amazon for February 201
Frank's work has been recognized through numerous awards, and most recently Franklin was selected for the 2015 Museum Association of New York State’s prestigious Individual Achievement Award.
