Carlos Museum’s Veneralia 2006 to have Mediterranean theme
The Carlos Museum will hold its annual Veneralia gala benefit with art, music and fine dining, April 30 at 6 p.m. in the museum’s reception hall.

The event, whose Mediterranean theme is inspired by the upcoming exhibition, “In Stabiano: Exploring the Ancient Seaside Villas of the Roman Elite,” raises funds for the continuing excellence of the Carlos Museum.
