Presented by Michael Blanding, an award-winning investigative journalist and author whose work explores art crime, cultural heritage, and the hidden stories behind major institutions and influential figures. Based on his newest book, The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby, this webinar will examine the Green family’s acquisition of biblical antiquities for the Museum of the Bible—including artifacts later identified as looted, stolen, or forged. Blanding will explore the complex issues surrounding provenance, the illicit antiquities trade, collecting ethics, and institutional responsibility, offering important lessons for museum and cultural-property professionals.
