Peto Presents is a compelling monthly series of lectures on art and New Jersey history. Each month, the Museum welcomes a guest speaker who offers a fascinating look at an engrossing aspect of applied art or a chapter of amazing history relevant to our community, or our state. Each session is selected to spark curiosity and deepen the appreciation for both artistic expression and our surrounding community.
