 Parents Weekend is only a few days away, and we invite all Princeton students to introduce your families to your Art Museum. Besides the fall's new exhibitions and the many new works of art on view in our collections galleries, we have two special musical events in store. Arrive early at the Faculty Room in Nassau Hall to explore Inner Sanctum (only on view through October 30) before "Music at Old Nassau" begins on Friday evening at 8 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, head to our medieval galleries to listen to the renowned Princeton Singers (tickets required). And if you're not a Princeton Parent--you're welcome too, so enjoy this special weekend!

 Angelica Kauffmann's extraordinary portrait of the renowned Handelian singer Sarah Harrop was exhibited at London's Royal Academy in 1781, after which it was privately owned and little seen. Now, after more than a century in a private collection, this extraordinary work of art--Kauffmann's masterpiece in portraiture, and one of the great works by a woman artist of the eighteenth century--is on public view as a new acquisition and the focal point of an update to our galleries of European art.
View more of our recent acquisitions.

 Nobody's Property: Art, Land, Space,
2000-2010
October 23, 2010-February 20, 2011
Over the last ten years, land and space have become pressing subjects for artistic investigation, so much so that we can now speak of a new generation of environmental artists. The much-awaited exhibition Nobody's Property explores this development in relation to the momentous shifts that have occurred in both the natural world and the geopolitical landscape of the twenty-first century.
Join us on Tuesday, October 26, at 4:30 p.m. in the Sterling Morton Gallery for a lively panel discussion featuring artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, Emre Hüner, and Matthew Day Jackson, as well as Juliana Ochs, independent scholar, and Daniel Heller-Roazen from the Department of Comparative Literature, moderated by exhibition curator Kelly Baum. Reception in the Museum to follow.

 A Medieval Garden
The Princeton Singers, Steven Sametz, director
Saturday, October 16, 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Sunday, October 17, 5:30 p.m.
Art Museum galleries
The lively acoustics of our galleries for medieval, Byzantine, and Islamic art set the stage for the transcendent music of the Princeton Singers. This year's program ranges from Gregorian chant to Josquin's masterful Missa pange lingua and features excerpts from Olivier Messian's Cinq rechants, his stunningly erotic, virtuosic setting of the medieval Tristan myth. Join us for a reception Saturday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and on Sunday following the 5:30 performance. Tickets are $15, available online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-9220.
