The exhibition Women of the Chrysler: A 400-Year Celebration of the Arts opens next Wednesday, March 24.
This expansive show fills both the Large and Small Changing Galleries with more than 150 works by women painters, sculptors, photographers, silversmiths, glass artists, and printmakers drawn from the Chrysler Museum's permanent collection. The exhibition also traces the course of women’s ever-expanding contributions to the arts in Europe, America, and eventually the world .
Here in the Library we've been gathering information about the contributions of women to the history of the Museum itself. Women from all backgrounds have played and integral role in the creation, development, and operation of the Museum from its very beginning. Each week during the exhibition, the blog will feature a story about a woman or group of women accompanied by an online album of images from the Library's collections. We also invite you to join us in the Library throughout the run of the exhibtion to learn more about these dedicated women.
Stay tuned!
