As the Museum relishes its return to its “regular” schedule of public hours six days a week and the opening of two new exhibitions, Jona Frank: Model Home and Marcia Resnick: As It Is or Could Be, we are excited to announce the launch of another exhibition in late March, Antiquity & America: The Ancient Mediterranean in the United States. In addition to the Museum’s public programming, important work is afoot behind the scenes with a deep dive into our collections data, as Betsy Carpenter and Anne Witty explain. Please also find within this issue further insights into a stunning recent acquisition and a sneak preview of the upcoming public program with photographer Marcia Resnick on Thursday, March 3rd! Also, on March 9th, please join Cameron Snow ’22 and Andria Polo Brizuela ’22 who will share further insights into the new Jona Frank exhibition. We look forward to seeing you in the galleries!
