For any close to Neenah, Wisconsin:
Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company will host free presentations by Jeffrey Post at 4:30 and 7:00 PM on November 1 at their office there. Post has worked at the Smithsonian for over 20 years and has been curator of the National Gem and Mineral Collections since 1991. Over six million visitors per year visit the collections, which include items of natural and historical significance such as the Hope Diamond and Marie Antoinette’s earrings.

The presentations are by reservation only.
