Spotlighting a Rockefeller collecting tradition

The next lecture of the Connecticut Ceramics Study Circle will focus on the Rockefeller family’s tradition of collecting Chinese ceramics.

When the Connecticut Ceramics Study Circle next meets, the focus will be on collecting – but it won’t be about casual wanders through the flea market.

The study circle’s presentation, “The Rockefeller Family Collects: Chinese Ceramics at Kykuit,” will be offered March 12 at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich. Cynthia Bronson Altman, Curator of the Collections, Kykuit: The Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills, will be the featured speaker.

As advance materials share, Kykuit, the Dutch word for “lookout,” is the 40-room Beaux Arts mansion built by John D. Rockefeller in 1914 on the highest hill of his 300-acre Westchester property. 

The event will run from 1:15 to 3 p.m. Admission for nonmembers is $25. The Bruce is at 1 Museum Drive.
