AD surveys the best university art museums across the country
Architectural Digest just named us one of the best university art museums in the country!
New Hours
Starting this fall, the Rose will have new hours. Open Wednesday - Sunday, with our usual 12-5 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, there will now be extended hours on Friday and Saturday, 12-7.
Come enjoy the Rose at night!
It is a tired maxim that the Internet basically exists to help us find pictures of cats. That particular search just got a lot easier—and a lot classier—thanks to Meow Met, a new Chrome extension. Designed by Emily McAllister for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Media Lab, Meow Met shows you a cat-related picture from the museum’s collection every time you open up a new tab.
We were not kidding. We love cats. Art + Cats = Basically peak Rose staff interests.
That cats “rule the Internet” is an undisputed truism. Internet users have created and viewed millions of images and videos of cats, delighting in media that dwell on the cat’s many paradoxes: its independence and powerlessness, its curiosity and indifference, its human qualities and sheer inscrutability. How Cats Took Over the Internet tells the history of cats online, examining phenomena like Caturday, lolcats, cat videos, celebrity cats, and more to unearth why images and videos of the feline kind have transfixed a generation of web users. Touching on concepts like anthropomorphism, the aesthetics of cuteness, the Bored at Work Network, and the rise of user-generated content, this exhibit takes a critical look at a deceptively frivolous phenomenon.
We’re pretty obsessed with cats here at the Rose -- I’m sensing a staff field trip in the near future.
An exhibition at the Rose Art Museum in Waltham, Mass., tells how Ms. Frankenthaler became a leading figure in Color Field painting.
WALTHAM, Mass. — A groundbreaking show at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University here clears a more prominent place for Helen Frankenthaler in the history of postwar New York painting. “Pretty Raw: After and Around Helen Frankenthaler” re-examines her 1952 invention of stain-painting and traces some of its repercussions up to the present.
In a way that eludes most exhibitions that include contemporary art, “Pretty Raw” is gorgeous, full of fresh insights and diverse yet coherent, connected throughout by a formal rather than a literary theme: color used freely and inventively often at full strength — in liquid, process-oriented ways. Another through line is feminist thought and its aesthetic ramifications, especially in painting, with “the feminine” as both a stereotype to be shattered and an artistic potential to be explored. Above all there is the implication that it remains in many ways implicitly political for a woman to paint.
Break out the celebration dances, this NYT review has us floating through the rest of Pretty Raw’s run.
Come see what all the fuss is about, open through Sunday.

Burning Boards, from set up to tear down.
Burning Boards tonight is being plagued by wind. Rather than keep the audience away, they’re getting closer and acting as human windbreaks. Art collaboration at its finest.
We’re loving #poseMW day, the final day of #MuseumWeek, for all of these great visitor photos.
