The Pennington School's Silva Gallery will be hosting an exhibition featuring artifacts from Joseph Bonaparte's personal collection titled, "From Waterloo to New Jersey." Many of the pieces on display including letters, furniture, coins and a painting are owned by Fox Rothschild's Partner, Peter J. Tucci.
The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, October 17 from noon to 5:00 PM with a symposium being presented by Tucci and a co-curator titled, "Laying Out some of the Spoils of Europe in an Elegant Mansion and Grounds," at 1:30 PM. "From Waterloo to New Jersey" will be open through Friday, November 20 by appointment during school hours or Thursdays, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Tucci is relived that his collection will finally go on display stating, "I think this will be first exhibit of Joseph Bonaparte in the U.S. A lot of people talked about one, but it never happened. I have been thinking about it for some time. I have been waiting for it to get done."
