Description

Part 2 of The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art's history of LightHouse Hill brings us to the hill's most constant sentinel, other than the lighthouse itself, The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art. In part 1 of this history, lifelong Staten Islander Charles DeStephano brought us up to the 1940's with what his investigations of the Hill revealed to him. Within part 2 there is lots of overlap in time with part 1 so be sure to give that a listen too if you'd missed that. In part 2 the Museum's former executive director, Meg Ventrudo explains how the Tibetan Museum came to be, and of the intriguing woman who's lifelong brain-child became a living prophesy to a philosophy yet to appear within the consciousness of the western mind. You will hear how Jacques Marchais' passion manifest, went on to become one of the first beacons to an eastern philosophy destined to end up in Howell New Jersey, and inspire the rest of the world toward peace and empathy.
