SPRING TERM ZOOM COURSE OFFERING: Tennyson's Poetry Today (OLLI RIT Course)

SPRING TERM ZOOM COURSE OFFERING: Pillaging Europe: Nazi Art Theft in World War II (OLLI RIT Course)
Although conquerors had looted art and cultural artifacts during previous wars, the Nazis took this activity to a whole new level during World War II. This six-week course will examine the factors that contributed to this massive theft, how some stolen materials were recovered and what, some 80 years later, is still missing. Learn more.
