New Exhibit Opening Reception
Inn Ruins: The Romance of Decay at the Mission Inn
Date: Thursday, September 16, 2010
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: MissionInnMuseum
We all know that the Mission Inn is home to an exceptional collection of art and artifacts, such as masterpieces of Russian art, one-of-a-kind bells, and a breathtaking hand-carved gold leaf altar screen. But, the Inn has always been a working hotel, and so our collections also include another kind of artifact – those that are worn, broken, and loved to death after decades of display and use inside the Inn. This new exhibit gives these artifacts (many of which have not been seen for years) their due and hopes to show that decay is not necessarily tragic, but is in some ways a beautiful representation of the Mission Inn’s many-storied past.

Date: Sunday, September 19, 2010
Time: 1:30 pm

With over 2500 pipes, this magnificent instrument has been played for thousands of weddings, concerts, and theatrical performances at the Inn since 1911. Between 2000 and 2006, the Friends of the Mission Inn restored the organ so that it can continue to fill the hotel with music as it did a century ago. This program will include lunch and a concert of vintage organ music. More information will be coming soon about ticket prices and the program’s start time as the event draws closer. |
