Join fellow humanists for a private art tour at the Minneapolis Institute of Art relating to the novel, “The Book Thief” by award-winning author Markus Zusak. After the tour, stay for a social and informal discussion of this historical fiction set in WWII Germany.
Meet in the lobby of MIA at 12:45 p.m., Saturday, June 11. The tour runs from 1 – 2 p.m. and we’ll gather as a group afterwards to discuss “The Book Thief” at the coffee shop there.
