“And That’s True Too: The Life and Work of Lore Segal” — a thoughtful and beautifully curated look at the life of one of the most distinctive Austrian-American literary voices.

Date: February 8, 2026
Time: 12 noon (tour starts promptly), please leave extra time for security check at entrance

The exhibition is curated by Karin Hanta, who will personally guide us through Segal’s life and work: from her childhood as an Austrian Jewish refugee, to her years in England, and finally to her long literary career in the United States. Segal’s writing blends memory, displacement, humor, and truth, and her novel Shakespeare’s Kitchen was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2008.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the exhibition with expert context and storytelling.

👟 Optional afterwards: For those who feel like stretching their legs, we’ll head out for an optional ~5-mile walk.
