Collection Connections Curator Tour: The St. Francis Missal

Saint Francis Missal

Join curator Lynley Anne Herbert, Robert and Nancy Hall Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts, as she reflects on St. Francis’ use of a book to guide his spiritual path, the growing belief in the Walters’ Missal as the book of legend, and the way the museum has stewarded the manuscript as both a religious object and a work of art.

Collection Connections is a series of onsite and virtual behind-the-scenes experiences with the Walters collection exclusively for Partners of the museum. Registration is required for these experiences, as space is limited.
