Each program in the series is examining the galleries visitors will encounter in the CHC’s new facility, 2 W. Aquarium Way, which is scheduled to open late this year. Black’s presentation will show some of the artifacts chosen for the exhibit and may include a visit to the space the gallery will occupy, if construction permits.
