Greetings from the Museum. Since re-opening to the public on July 1st, we have enjoyed greeting old friends and welcoming new visitors to the galleries. It has been great to see you. As you will learn when you visit, nearly every gallery has been re-installed. Among the many new exhibitions, please be sure to see Laurel Nakadate ǀ 365: A Catalogue of Tears, which closes on August 15, and New Views of the Middle Ages: Highlights from the Wyvern Collection, which will remain on view until next February. While the Museum is not yet able to present in-person programs, we continue to engage virtually with artists and scholars. Of note, please join us on August 18th when Katherine Bradford speaks about her artistic practice, including the recently acquired painting Fear of Dark (2020). We look forward to seeing you again soon. Anne Collins Goodyear & Frank H. Goodyear Co-Directors Bowdoin College Museum of Art
