Book Club
Monthly meetings on the first Wednesdays of each month 9:30 - 10:30 AM PST at the Triton Museum of Art. (doors open at 9:00 a.m. for coffee and donuts; presentation begins at 9:30 a.m.)
We invite you to read selected novels about art or famous artists before we meet, and then join us on the first Wednesday morning of each month, for an art history presentation about that month’s novel, the portrayed artist, and related art, as presented by Triton Museum Executive Director Preston Metcalf and Triton Museum Associate Curator Vanessa Callanta. Learn how the novel does — or doesn’t — comport to the actual history of its subject, and hear more about the artwork and the artists’ times in which they were created.
Admission to the monthly book club art history lectures is free for Triton Museum of Art Members ($5 donation requested for non-members), and all are welcome, whether you have actually read the book or not. Coffee and pastries will be served.
Discussions are held safely distanced & in person at the Triton Museum of Art Free for TMA members, $5 suggested donation for non-members
Take a look at what we'll be reading for 2026!
This Upcoming Month's Book:
Circle of Days by Ken Follett
August 5th, 2026
Stonehenge and Monuments of the Neolithic
From a bestselling author of epic fiction comes the deeply human story of one of the world’s greatest monuments. Truly ambitious in scope, Circle of Days invites you to join master storyteller Ken Follett in exploring one of the greatest mysteries of our age: Stonehenge.
While Stonehenge reigns as perhaps the most celebrated of neolithic monuments, it is by no means the only such creation. Journey with Executive Director Preston Metcalf back in time as we look at the magnificent creations marking the early steps into the advent of civilizations.
