Love art? Enjoy reading? Attend the IMA Salon, an open and informal group discussion of art and literature. Read the selected book on your own and then come to the IMA to discuss the book and view the exhibition. Plutarch, a Greek historian and biographer, had a fondness for dramatic appeal that prompted his written work to be only semi-factual. His intent was to use character and dramatic examples of success and failure to illustrate moral lessons. Originally paired with parallel Greek biographies, Makers of Rome: Nine Lives is a collection of nine Roman biographies of men who formed the history of the City of Rome. Book can be purchased in the IMA Store.
