With best wishes for a happy Fourth of July, we look forward to welcoming you to the galleries to celebrate Summer with the Bowdoin College Museum of Art! The recent opening of People Watching: Contemporary Art Since 1965 and Emilie Stark-Menneg’s Supernatural provide opportunities to encounter historic and contemporary artwork that shed new light on the world around us. For unique insights into these and other exhibitions on view, including Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable, please join us for upcoming musical performances and gallery talks by artists, scholars, and curators. We encourage you to visit Masks of Memories: Art and Ceremony in Nineteenth Century Oceania, which closes this month. In this issue of the e-Bulletin, enjoy learning more about what is happening behind the scenes at the Museum, including new acquisitions and some of the work being done by the Museum’s outstanding interns.
 
We look forward to seeing you at the Museum of Art!
