A members-only book talk about the fascinating history of the Mallorcan stairway and balustrades held in the Museum's collections. 

Curator Alexandra Letvin and conservator Elena Torok, authors of From Palma to Princeton: Unraveling the Mystery of a Mallorcan Stairway (2025), share the incredible story of one of the Museum’s most beloved objects. Members will hear about the stairway’s origins, its journey to New Jersey, and the multiyear conservation treatment that prepared it for reinstallation in the new building.
