Kelvingrove Museum subjects (1), from my visit to Scotland early Dec. The museum has lots of subjects of Scottish and world history, and it’s free! It houses an impressive art gallery of European artists (Salvador Dali, Gustave Doré, Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Harry Clarke … to the works of the Scottish Colourists and Glasgow School). Scottish history subjects here: A: carved stone balls, late Neolithic period; their purpose remain unknown B: 2-handed Lowlander & Highlander swords C: Mary, Queen of Scots doll D: shrine with alabaster carving

Sculpture of a Chicken Head, Courtyard, Hirshhorn Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, 2012.

I did not make a note of the name of the sculptor. The sculpture was substantially larger than a human head.

“Tempio di Vesta” From a current show at the Metropolitan Museum in New York “Paradise of Exiles.”

“Image: Pietro Dovizielli (Italian, 1804–1885). Temple of Vesta, ca. 1855. Salted paper print from paper negative. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Gilman Collection, Purchase, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation Gift, through Joyce and Robert Menschel, 2005″

Hope I have a chance to visit NYC while this photography show is up. The web allows online access to much of its content, but it would be better too see it in person. The photograph above is used for advertising the show, and the building it depicts is of one of my favorite sites in Rome.

Accessibility Should Be at the Center of Museum Education

Art history departments often fail to embed disability studies into their curricula when engaging with art, politics, and identity.
