About The Event

Instructor: Amanda Mikolic  

This four-week course introduces the art of the medieval world using objects from the CMA’s encyclopedic collection to demonstrate the connections between cultures in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Artworks discussed cover a broad range of time, spanning from the 300s CE to the 1600s. Individual sessions focus on cross-cultural themes, such as holy and sacred families, architecture and original contexts, vessels of everyday life, and symbols of power.

In-person course, four sessions: Wednesdays, April 17, April 24, May 1, and May 15 (no class on May 8), 6:00–7:00 p.m.

This on-site course involves walking through the museum galleries. Gallery stools and assistive listening devices are available for use in the museum.

Please meet for each session in the Parker Hannifin Corporation Donor Gallery (north courtyard lobby), located off the atrium, on the first floor of the museum.
