Explore the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art by getting a closer look.
Courses give lifelong learners the opportunity to form a deeper connection with the museum and enrich their understanding of the CMA’s collection of art and artifacts from around the world.
All course sessions are led by CMA educators. All sessions for the in-person course are conducted in the museum galleries. All sessions for the virtual course are conducted on Zoom.
This four-week course introduces the art of the ancient world using objects from the CMA’s encyclopedic collection to demonstrate the connections between ancient cultures in Africa, the Mediterranean, the Americas, and Asia. Artworks discussed cover a broad range of time, spanning from late Neolithic China (c. 5000 BCE) to Classic period Mesoamerica (c. 900).
Individual sessions focus on cross-cultural themes, such as technological innovations in art making, the development of writing and visual storytelling, spiritual representations, and the culture of burial and the afterlife.
