Australia—the Land Down Under—takes center stage from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, during Global Adventures at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures.
The monthly gatherings are designed for those who love to travel, want to recount their travel experiences, delight in sharing stories of travel or dream of traveling one day. The hosts for Global Adventures are Daniel and Alice Owen, who lived and worked abroad for 32 years and have visited 85 countries to date.
Sailing Around Australia will be presented by Klaus Lorenz, Professor Emeritus with the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Colorado State University. Dr. Lorenz, a global traveler to 104 countries across all continents, will recount his excursions to explore the country, meet the people and view the wildlife.
Reservations for the gathering are $10 per person, and registration is requested at globalvillagemuseum.org. Wine and refreshments will be served, and there will be time for socializing and meeting other travelers.
All are welcome—you need not be a museum member to attend. Participants are encouraged to arrive early as their registration includes admission to the Museum. In the Main Gallery, Australia and New Zealand: Miles Apart explores the rich cultures, histories and arts of the two countries. The exhibition runs through Nov. 18.
For the December gathering, a group trip to Denver’s Christkindl Market is envisioned. If you are interested, please email info@globalvillagemuseum.org.
