Lecture At The Canadian Institute In Greece

Last night Andrew Todd gave a very interesting lecture at the Canadian Institute in Greece. The topic of the lecture was on Andrew's specialty, the restoration of Canadian Aboriginal art, with a focus on Totem Poles.  Andrew went over such topics as Aboriginal culture, Totem Pole history, as well as giving some great examples of the challenges he's faced conserving these pieces of Canadian heritage.

After the lecture there was time to answer a few questions from the audience.

Then there was a short reception.

It was a very interesting lecture with a wonderful crowd in attendance   If you couldn't make it to the lecture yourself, make sure that you stop by the Benaki museum and say hello to Andrew, he'll be available regularly to answer any questions you might have.  Click here for his hours and more information about the events at the Benaki museum.
