Audrey Hawthorn in what appears to be the rotunda at the new Museum of Anthropology building. The annotation on this slide gives the date as May 1956 but based on Audrey Hawthorn's appearance and photographs similar to this one the annotation is in error. As it is labelled as Audrey Hawthorn at a press conference, this photograph was likely taken at the press conference associated with the opening of the Museum of Anthropology's new location in 1976.
