Campus General Request Event

OLLI at Illinois (301 N. Neil, Champaign) is offering this lecture as part of "A Taste of OLLI". Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes at your local art museum? Why are some works of art forever in storage and others put on display in perpetuity? How are exhibition topics chosen? What are some of the obstacles and secret joys of this sort of museum work? Learn this and more from curator Maureen Warren, who will reveal the methodology, concerns, and ethics of creating fine art exhibitions.

This lecture is free and open to the public and will take place at the OLLI office and on Zoom. For further details and information about registration, please visit olli.illinois.edu or call 217-244-9141.T
