On Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 6:30 p.m., Jeanine Basinger, Corwin-Fuller Professor of Film Studies at Wesleyan University presents “Oz on Film: From Black and White to Technicolor to IMAX 3-D.”
Tickets to the Oz for Adults series are $7 for individual lectures or $30 for the series of five. Museum members pay a discounted fee of $5 for one lecture or $20 for the full series. All Oz for Adults lectures take place at the Florence Griswold Museum, 96 Lyme Street.

The adult lecture series is part of the Museum’s month-long Wee Faerie Village in the Land of Oz, featuring a walking tour of faerie houses created by 50 artists and designers. A grant by Connecticut Humanities supports the event including the Oz for Adults lecture series.
Additional support come from Mr. and Mrs. Donald Joffray, The Platner Family Foundation and in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Connecticut Office of the Arts. An anonymous donor ensures that children 12 and under enjoy the Wee Faerie Village exhibition for free.
