A Conversation between Cherished SBMA Travel Leaders: Susie Orso and Nigel McGilchrist

Susie Orso and Nigel McGilchrist converse and reminisce about the Museum’s Travel Program over its busy half-century of history – discussing what the real significance of travel is for us, how travel is done at its best, and what instructive lessons we all learned from our abstention during the pandemic years. They share stories and joyous moments - including reflections on gastronomy and art - as well as pictures from recent journeys, far and wide, with the Museum’s indomitable group of traveling members and friends.
