A rustic, aged book cover features a faded, brown sketch of a robed man with a beard and cap, looking forward. Above his head, the word "ARISTOTELES" is handwritten.

Join us to celebrate the opening of Reinventing Aristotle, the fall exhibition in the Goldstein Family Gallery, curated by Professor Eva Del Soldato (Penn), Professor Hannah Marcus (Harvard), and Kislak Senior Curator Lynne Farrington. 

The evening will begin at 4:30 pm, with a viewing of the exhibition. Curators will be present in the gallery to speak with visitors and answer any questions. The public welcome will take place at 5:30 pm, followed by remarks from Dr. Anthony Grafton, Henry Putnam University Professor of History, Emeritus, at Princeton. The evening will conclude with a reception and provide another opportunity to view the exhibition.
