The symposium includes French and American scholars, and addresses key issues and themes raised by the displays in the exhibition. Keynote speaker Dr. Richard Burkhardt, Jr. (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), kicks off the interdisciplinary gathering with a lecture titled "Civilizing Specimens and Citizens at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, 1793-1830." Of Elephants & Roses celebrates the life sciences during a time when Paris was the center of natural history in the Western world. On view are more than sixty objects from France never before seen in the U.S., including Josephine's black swan, gorgeous renderings of flowers on Sèvres porcelain, a mastodon fossil bone sent by Thomas Jefferson to Paris, an herbarium specimen of the flowering Franklinia tree, and everyday objects decorated with charming images of a giraffe who walked 550 miles across France to greet the king.
