Join us at the Hennage Auditorium for this performance/lecture hybrid to meet some of the famous faces who intrigued people of the 18th century in this presentation and theatrical performance. The Celebrity in Print exhibition opened at the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg in late October 2024. Explore how the 18th-century English market for portrait prints played a role in the genesis of our modern concept of "celebrity."
