 Starburst: Color Photography in America 1970-1980
On view through September 26, 2010
If you haven't had a chance to visit yet, you won't want to miss the final days of Starburst: Color Photography in America 1970-1980, the first historical survey of "The New Color Photography." Even as artists returned to some of photography's most deeply rooted themes at the turn of the decade, their return came dressed in color--and the medium as we know it today was born. Kevin Moore, curator of Starburst, will talk about the exhibition on Thursday, September 23, at 4:30 p.m. in McCormick 101.

 Among the most beloved works of French Impressionism, Claude Monet's Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge is known to many regular visitors, but with new students freshly arrived on campus, we're proud to reintroduce this great masterpiece of European art. Newly installed in our nineteenth-century galleries, Monet's representation of his gardens at Giverny has never looked better.
View more of our European art collection.

A Fresh Look for the Museum Store
| |
 This month the Museum Store introduces a new, more spacious look with updated store fixtures and lighting, and a new range of merchandise featuring the work of local and regional artists, including Princeton's own Michael Graves. These unique products mirror the quality that is the essence of Princeton, and offer you a chance to make art a part of your daily life. And it's a great way to support the Museum!
