It has been 100 years since archaeologist Howard first looked into the long-lost tomb of Pharoah Tutankhamen and famously proclaimed that he saw “wonderful things!”
The extraordinary discovery touched off a decades-long Egyptian Revival craze. Historian Eleanor Schrader will present a look at some examples of Egyptian Revival architecture and design via Zoom for anyone 50 and older. Everyone who registers for the event will receive an email link to the live presentation.
Schrader, an award-winning architectural and interior design historian, professor and consultant, lectures worldwide on the history of architecture, interiors, furniture, and decorative arts. She has been named a distinguished instructor by UCLA Extension and is professor emeritus of art and art history at Santa Monica College. She did graduate work in fine and decorative arts at Sotheby’s Institute in London and New York, and co-authored the book “Master Architects of Southern California, 1920-1940: Wallace Neff.”
