The hustle and bustle of the holiday season seems a bit quieter this year as we reimagine our celebrations in light of the pandemic. But one tried-and-true tradition will manifest itself again this year, the Museum’s 93rd Winter Speaker Series, a staple of Newport’s winter happenings. Each year the Winter Speaker Series Committee and Museum staff curate this historic lecture series to reflect a broad array of current topics, ideas, and voices to educate, illuminate, and inspire. This year the Winter Speaker Series will be delivered live virtually via Zoom, making it the most accessible Winter Speaker Series ever. The six thought-provoking lectures will take place on Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m., Jan. 23 - Feb. 27, 2021. New this year, books authored by many of our 2021 Winter Speaker Series presenters, or directly related to the lectures, are available for purchase from the Mu
