A New Season Begins
| September 1, 2010
|
 With the arrival of September we embrace a new season,
the return to school, and the arrival of 1,300 incoming freshmen at Princeton. Greeting a new academic year will be a host of offerings at the Museum including new exhibitions, changes to the collections galleries, and even a new look for the Museum Store. If you haven't visited lately, now is the time!

Doug Aitken: Migration (Empire)
Through November 14, 2010, dusk to 11 p.m. each night
Art Museum Plaza
Doug Aitken's monumental video installation Migration (Empire) (2008) marks the first time an exhibition of video art has been presented outdoors on the historic Princeton campus. Migration (Empire) poignantly reflects on the experience of migration, a subject steeped in American history, as well as on challenges to the natural environment--and it's a visually stunning masterwork.

 Opening September 4, the Museum's galleries of nineteenth-century art have been completely reinstalled to offer a fresh look at some of our most beloved works of art and at a complex century that offers striking parallels to our own time.
From Chardin to Modigliani, there are old friends--like Monet's Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge--to be rediscovered, and new discoveries--including treasures of photography, drawings, prints, and the decorative arts--to be made. A true must-see!

Art Museum
Celebrating the beginning of the fall semester and of our 2010-11 programming, campus and community will come together for the Museum's second annual Nassau Street Sampler, a lively "taste of Princeton" introducing incoming students and reintroducing the community to the tasty array of dining options available outside the "orange bubble." Featuring free food from many of Princeton's eclectic restaurants, live music, and the chance to win great prizes--including t-shirts, posters, and gift certificates--this is an event you won't want to miss!
