Join us for a free, in-depth virtual tour of one of our newest exhibitions, Dare to Know: Chess in the Age of Reason. Chief Curator Shannon Bailey or Curator Emily Allred will be available during the Facebook Live tour for Q & A.

Dare to Know: Chess in the Age of Reason showcases numerous chess sets, books, artwork, and other artifacts representing Enlightenment centers in Europe and the United States. Chess sets belonging to famous historical figures from the era, including Catherine the Great and Madame Tussaud, will be on view alongside humble playing sets and a display related to the “Mechanical Turk,” a famed chess-playing automaton.
