Join us for an afternoon symposium devoted to exploring the arts and culture of Victorian mourning with illustrated talks and show-and-tell presentations of period artifacts. Speakers will include Dr. Stanley Burns, professor of Medicine and Psychiatry and Founder of the Burns Photographic Archive, Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman, Evan Michelson, co-owner of Obscura Antiques & Oddities and host of the Science Channel’s Oddities, funeral director Amy Cunningham, Jennifer Glassock, Research Associate at the Costume Institute, and more!

Although Green-Wood’s vast expanse of rolling hills, glacial ponds, and over 150 species of trees is one of New York City’s most loved green-spaces, it can be difficult to capture on film. In this class, Sean Sime, who has over 20 years of professional experience in journalism, fashion, and documentary photography, will share tips, techniques, and tools for capturing the splendor of nature.
