What is color? The answer may be surprisingly elusive. Great minds have pondered this question for millennia, leading to world-changing discoveries, yet much about color remains a mystery.

Join us on a vibrant journey through the Smithsonian Libraries’ definitive collection on color. From Isaac Newton’s Opticks (1704) to Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color (1963), hear the fascinating stories behind these historic publications.

Lunch will be provided.
