Q MAGAZINE OF QUEENS COLLEGE 13 Treasures from the Godwin-Ternbach Museum By Amy Winter The Godwin-Ternbach Museum collection is unique in the borough of Queens, possessing art and artifacts from ancient to modern times in all media and styles. The collection was assembled entirely through the generous donations of alumni and friends, many associates of Museum founder and namesake Joseph Ternbach, a celebrated restorer and collector. Since the Museum’s reopening in 2001, seven exhibitions have introduced objects from the collection and offered exciting public programs that interpreted and complemented each exhibition’s con- tent. The few highlights shown here offer a small sample of the beautiful artistic and cultural objects in our collection. In the future we hope that the Museum will be more than the “best-kept secret in town” and become known as an important educational and cultural center that enriches the lives of the people in our community. Although our collection is modest in size, its value is immeas- urable. We invite you to visit and discover the treasures of the Godwin-Ternbach Museum. 1 1. Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944), Kleine 2.

ALUMNI VISIT THE ITALIAN LAKES Twenty alumni and their spouses traveled to northern Italy last August. David Guskin ’69, director of Alumni Travel Programs, said that “Although we have traveled to beautiful places like Tuscany and Normandy in the past, this trip offered perhaps the most spectacular scenery.” The group stayed in a former private lakefront villa in Baveno, the Lido Palace Hotel, and took cruises on Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, and Lake Orta. They also visited Milan, the Borromean Islands, Bellagio, Como, and Tremezzo. Planning for the 2007 trip has already begun. Under consideration are trips to Sicily, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast, Scotland, Ireland, Aix-En- Provence, and a river cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
