Smithsonian Institution - Symposium

The Smithsonian Institution presents Santiniketan to Smithsonian: A Tribute to Tagore, which celebrates the life and work of poet, playwright, painter, composer, educator, and humanist Rabindranath Tagore: the Renaissance man, the leading light of modern India and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature (1913). To commemorate the 150^th Birth Anniversary of Tagore, the Smithsonian will present a two-day symposium at the National Museum of the American Indian on May 28^th and May 29^th 2011 starting at 1:00 p.m.

A special highlight of the event is a live on-line streaming of the entire symposium.
