On July 22nd, ISAW Associate Director for Exhibitions and Gallery Curator Clare Fitzgerald gave a Virtual Tour of our recent exhibition, Hymn to Apollo: The Ancient World and the Ballet Russes. This online presentation was given in collaboration with NYU's Alumni office, and we are pleased to be able to provide our community with the full recording.

Part of a series of lunchtime gallery talks: Wednesdays, March 6–May 29,11:30–11:50am Join us in the galleries for a 20-minute in-depth discussion of a single object from Hymn to Apollo: The Ancient World and the Ballets Russes. In this brief lunchtime talk, participants will engage in a guided conversation exploring the specific history, iconography, and manufacture of one of the objects on view in our current exhibition. Each weekly gallery talk will feature a different object presented by one of the Exhibitions staff, and visitors are welcome to return for a fresh conversation each week. This week, our Object History will be presented by Kate Justement, the Exhibitions Graduate Assistant at ISAW. Registration is not required.
