Bridge the Gap

The West End Museum hosts architect Miguel Rosales for a talk about iconic local bridges — many of which he worked on. The Bridges as Structural Art in Boston exhibit will feature six mini-models of bridges and a discussion of Rosales’ work on the Zakim Bridge, the newly completed William Felton “Bill” Russell Bridge, the Longfellow Bridge restoration, and others. Rosales’ book, Bridges as Structural Art, will be available for purchase. Exhibit runs August 27 through September 7. 6 p.m. Find tickets, $10, at thewestendmuseum.org.
