Upcoming Events

Off the Wall | Rose Art Museum In celebration of the Rose Art Museum's 60th anniversary, the team is busy preparing re: collections, Six Decades at the Rose Art Museum. Presented in a non-linear, non-chronological, and multi-vocal approach, re:collections attempts to dismantle rehearsed historical narratives and traditional categorizations, by exploring alternative ways of seeing and thinking about modern and contemporary art. In the months leading up to our May opening, we invite the Brandeis community for "Off the Wall", a behind-the-scenes look at our exhibition in the making. Selections of artworks will be presented in the Lee gallery on art shelves, easels, and display tables, for a unique and intimate viewing experience. Reservations for in-person visits can be made here! Artworks will be refreshed every two weeks, with each rotation accompanied by a lively Zoom discussion to explore connections sparked by the diverse works on display.
