About the Speaker
Lindsy R. Parrott is the Executive Director and Curator of The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. Since beginning her tenure at The Neustadt in 2003, Lindsy has conducted ground-breaking research on the history, manufacture, and use of Tiffany’s opalescent flat glass, which has been published in numerous journal articles and exhibition catalogues. She has further developed The Neustadt’s partnership with the Queens Museum, which now houses a permanent gallery dedicated to changing exhibitions drawn from The Neustadt’s collection.
About the lecture series
The sponsors of this lecture, Bernard l. and Nelly K. Murstein, were active scholars and arts enthusiasts in the New London community. Both were faculty members at Connecticut College, with Bernard teaching Psychology and Nelly teaching French, and they have long supported the Lyman Allyn Art Museum, with Nelly serving as a docent for many years. We recognize and appreciate Bernard’s and Nelly’s long service to Connecticut College and the Museum. This lecture honors the Docent and Volunteer team in our 90th Anniversary year!
