Collecting and Collections Tour, Part Two

At our final stop of the tour, we discussed the role of a curator in an art museum: s/he studies artworks, organizes special exhibitions, and decides which works of art are on view and where to place them. We considered possible reasons why the curator chose to place these three sculptures together in the same case. What do you think?

We finished the tour with a special activity. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, students thought back to their favorite works of art from this tour or from past tours and wrote a Valentine card to the artwork of their choice. Below are a few examples, along with links to blog posts from the tours when students viewed these works of art.
