The Museum of Lost and Found book launch party

Ages 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s+

Celebrate the launch of Leila Sales’s new book, The Museum of Lost and Found—a warm, relatable middle-grade story starring an 11-year-old Jewish American girl who discovers and abandoned museum in her town and starts filling it with her own memories and projects.

Leila will be in conversation with curators Alison Hokanson (The Met) and Rebecca Shaykin (The Jewish Museum). They will discuss curation as it pertains both to professional, real-world museums and to the fictional, DIY, kid-run museum in The Museum of Lost and Found.
