Event Details
This program will take place at the library. Masks are recommended. Current CDC guidelines advise that everyone wears masks inside public buildings.
Despite the Middle Ages still sometimes being called the Dark Ages, people in that era often enjoyed good times, especially at
the table. Through art and archaeology, learn about medieval foods and their preparation—including a recipe for roast unicorn!--
in late-medieval feasts, as well as the rules and ceremonies under which these sumptuous foods were presented and the types of entertainment guests might enjoy. Works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Met's Cloisters Museum will highlight
this talk.
