For Bowers Members Only: A Book Club Experience

Books at Bowers: Touring Through the Pages is a Bowers Docent Guild-sponsored book club that pairs a topical book with a museum art experience.

Join Books at Bowers as we celebrate nine years of thought-provoking literature and lively conversation among museum members! This month’s selection is The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, a moving and witty novel that follows the unlikely friendship between Renée, a self-taught Parisian concierge, and Paloma, a precocious 12-year-old, whose lives are transformed by an unexpected connection with a new neighbor. Together, their stories offer a poignant reflection on friendship, beauty, philosophy, and the meaning of life.

Following the book discussion, enjoy A Wassail in Winter, a festive holiday gathering hosted by the Bowers Docent Guild, featuring seasonal treats and a special raffle.

FREE EVENT

Space is limited to 50 members per day. A confirmation email will be sent to participants prior to the event.
