The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (top and bottom left) will host most of this year’s Symposium tours.   

The Daguerreian Society is pleased to announce details of the exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours planned for this year’s Symposium & Photo Fair in Hartford, Connecticut.  

These curator-led briefings, which provide access to rarely seen institutional images and other holdings, will take place on Thursday, September 25, the first day of the three-day Symposium.   

Online sign-up will begin at noon ET on Saturday, August 2, via the Society website and will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Detailed registration information will be forthcoming.  

Symposium registrants will have the opportunity to sign up for two curator-led tours at the Wadsworth and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.
