Cornell Fine Arts Museum

Join Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Curator Virginia Mecklenburg for an in-depth look into the diverse perspectives that make up the American story as reflected by the broad selection of works in this exhibition.

Almost 60 years ago, George Kubler’s book The Shape of Time challenged the accepted art historical narrative by suggesting that art is simply the visual manifestation of a continuous conversation through time.

A selection of “verses” or segments from Jennifer Crandall’s Emmy nominated film Whitman Alabama will be screened followed by a lecture and discussion with Ben Hudson, Associate Professor of English at Rollins.

Drop by for fun activities perfect for the whole family, including a scavenger hunt in the galleries and hands-on art making connected to the exhibitions on view. All materials are provided. Free and open to the public.

Join Curator Gisela Carbonell for tours in Spanish. These tours are for everyone – whether you currently speak Spanish or wish to brush up on your language skills.
