During this anniversary year, as the Walker Art Building turns 125 years old, we celebrate the extraordinary art works collected over the years by the Museum. This month we open two new installations from the permanent collection: the Bowdoin Gallery, with collections of European and American Art from 1500 to 1800, and the Boyd Gallery, with collections from the nineteenth century. These refreshed galleries feature some of the Museum's most outstanding works. Also, be sure to attend a special Members' Evening
on May 16th during which we unveil some of the Museum's most recent acquisitions. As the school year winds down, we also want to thank and wish good luck to the extraordinary graduating seniors who have worked at the Museum over the last several years. Your involvement has meant so much to all of us.
See you at the Museum!
