Pic: Gabriela Sciolino Plump Elaine Sciolino, a contributing writer for The New York Times in Paris, is the author of “Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World’s Greatest Museum,” published in April 2025. She returns to the club after her fascinating and entertaining talk in December 2019 on her book “THE SEINE: The River That Made Paris.” The Louvre is the most famous museum in the world, attracting millions of visitors every year with its masterpieces. In Adventures in the Louvre, Elaine Sciolino immerses herself in this magical space and helps us fall in love with what was once a forbidding fortress. Exploring galleries, basements, rooftops, and gardens, Sciolino demystifies the Louvre, introducing us to her favorite artworks, both legendary and overlooked, and to the people who are the museum’s lifeblood: the curators, the artisans producing frames and engravings, the builders overseeing restorations, the firefighters protecting the aging structure. We are delighted to welcome her back again for her engaging presentation. ___________________________________________________ Tuesday, May 12, 2026, 1:00 pm Luncheon La Bonne Soupe 48 West 55th Street, New York, NY 10019 ___________________________________________________ May 19, 2026, 6:00 pm New Member Meeting – By Invitation Only for members who joined in 2025 or 2026 Château Village 1 Minetta STREET, 2E, New York, NY 10012 (Door code 005) ___________________________________________________ June 2, 2026 Dinner, 7:00 pm National Arts Club 15 Gramercy Park South, New York, NY 10003 Program TBA __________________________________________________ July 16, 2026, 6:00 pm Post-Bastille Sail Classic Harbor Line, 62 Chelsea Piers Manhattan, New York Enjoy a Post-Bastille night out with members and friends, it’s a fantastic way to enjoy the city from a different point of view.
