Details

Experience the richness of the reclusive Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan when Global Adventures: Discovering Bhutan is presented at 6:30 pm Thursday, April 10, at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures. The presenter, Janet Ward Schofield, is the author of Discovering Bhutan: Land of Gross National Happiness. Schofield left a professorship at the University of Pittsburgh to help launch Bhutan’s first private higher education institution. In her mid-sixties, Schofield intended to stay just one year. Instead, Schofield stayed over a decade as a Professor and Senior Advisor at Bhutan’s Royal Thimphu College. Schofield will offer an enthralling portrait of a country that is sometimes referred to as the Last Shangri-La. Bhutan – about the size of Maryland – is extraordinary for its natural environment, monarchy, religion, and unique culture. The presentation is part of the Museum’s author series entitled Global Adventures: Exploring Culture Through Reading. Tickets to the presentation are $5 per person, and reservations are requested at globalvillagemuseum.org. The Museum’s doors will be open at 6 pm, and following the program at 6:30 pm, copies of Schofield’s book will be available for purchase and signing by the author. Refreshments will be served, and the book sales will support the Global Village Museum.
