Exhibition Gallery Talks: Object Histories
Wednesdays at 12pm

Join us in the galleries for a 20-minute in-depth discussion of a single object from Ritual and Memory: The Ancient Balkans and Beyond. Every Wednesday at 12pm we will focus on one artifact and explore its specific history, iconography, and manufacture in this brief lunchtime talk. Each discussion will feature a different artwork and visitors are welcome to return for a fresh conversation each week. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
