MORE INFORMATION Building on two previous lecture series which examined “Great Art Museums” in Europe and America, art historian James W. Grebl, Ph.D., will present a series of four lavishly illustrated lectures which explore a number of outstanding, though smaller or lesser-known, European art museums. These fabulous gems, chosen for their remarkable art masterpieces as well as their impressive architecture, represent some of the best art museums of Europe that don’t appear on every tourist’s must-see list. The collections viewed will range from medieval to contemporary art, and the buildings housing them run the gamut from venerable to ultramodern. Each presentation will weave together the history, design, and art treasures of these irreplaceable cultural institutions. October 4, 2012 The third lecture will present a remarkable group of galleries in Germany and Austria, such as Museum Frieder Burda (Baden-Baden), Städel Museum (Frankfort am Main), and the Academy of Fine Arts and Secession Hall (Vienna). October 11, 2012 The final installment will explore a variety of museums in Spain and Italy, including the Picasso Museum (Málaga), the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), the Pinacoteca di Brera (Milan), the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Venice), and MAXXI—the National Museum of XXI Century Art (Rome). ********************************************************** IMPORTANT: The Athenaeum verifies all transactions for active library membership status and reserves the right to charge the difference in "member" and "nonmember" ticket price.
