Do you love a good mystery? How about a scrumptious English tea? Well, then our next Tea Time Tales event is for you! 

Discover what Japanese gangsters, bear spray, and daring boat getaways have in common with noteworthy art thefts. In this lecture, you will travel the globe learning why museums from Amsterdam to Zimbabwe have been targets for thieves and what tools they used to elude detection. Find out who got caught…and who did not.

Hear from Agecroft Hall's executive director, Anne Kenny-Urban, who'll present a lively illustrated lecture.

Afterward, enjoy tea and good conversation. Help yourself to scones, tea sandwiches, and a variety of delicious bite-sized sweets from Missy Mauck Catering!

Tickets: $45 per person; 20% discount for museum members.
