Americans Go to the Museum

About this event

Join us for "America at the Crossroads," a new series that invites us to think about how movies, music, museums, and more help us understand America’s past and shape our decisions about its future. This week, come hear from some of our very own BYU museum administrators! Miri Kim from the Museum of Art will speak on William Bliss Baker’s Fallen Monarchs, a tree-filled landscape you’ve maybe seen on display. Hear from the Bean Museum’s Katy Knight on the American Avocet and the Museum of Peoples and Cultures’ Ann Rowan on the Wolfgramm family kumete (kava bowl). What makes these artifacts still relevant today? Why do Americans continue to visit museums? Panelists: Miri Kim (Museum of Art), Katy Knight (Bean Museum), and Ann Rowan (Museum of Peoples and Cultures). Sponsored by the American Studies program. Event Flyer
