This Coffee Talk performance takes a look back at the founding of the Museum of Fine Arts. Witness the dedication to perfection and detail of the Museum’s founder, Margaret Acheson Stuart, as she worked to realize her dream of a world-class museum gracing the waterfront of St. Petersburg.  Join a potential docent as she learns the history of the museum, the woman behind its beginning, and its early collection.

Enjoy coffee and pastries before Coffee Talks and join us for a post-performance docent tour!
