From elaborate table settings that included spoons specifically used for certain jellies to the 20th-century invention of the TV dinner, it is safe to say that the way we dine in the Western world has changed drastically. The Chrysler Museum of Art is hosting a virtual program,
The Post-Revolution Evolution of Dining in America and Great Britain, during which Colonial Williamsburg’s senior curator of metals Janine Skerry will take attendees on a journey through time that traces the evolution from “service à la Française” to “service à la Russe”. The event, which is free to all, must be accessed through a Zoom link which you can sign up to receive in your email inbox here.
