If you're looking for something to do over the break, here are a few exhibitions that are worth a visit:
- WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. You can find more information here.
- "The Progress of Love" at the Menil Collection. You can find more information here
- "Dear John and Dominique: Letters and Drawings from the Menil Archives" at the Menil Collection. You can find more information here.
WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY is $15 for students, and it is well worth the price. The MFAH is open Tuesday through Sunday-- hours are posted on their website.
The Menil Collection is a free museum, and there is more to see there than just those two exhibitions. The Menil Collection is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00AM-7:00PM.
Hi all,
Apologies for not posting immediately after our Public History gathering on November 16th. I'm sure we are all equally busy this time of year. Just a couple of quick updates before we take a short break before the Spring semester--
- Our first informal Public History gathering was a success! We will be setting up a couple of meeting times for next semester, and I will keep you posted on those dates.
- If anyone is still looking for classes for next semester, there are a ton of great options in the history department! Also, there is an interesting opportunity outside of the history department-- Dr. Alessandro Carrera's History of Italy through Novels: Historic Novels and Film Adaptations. This class is offered on Mondays from 4:00-7:00PM in the World Cultures & Literature department. I have a copy of the syllabus if anyone would like one-- just send me an email. If you'd like to contact Dr. Carrera directly, you can find his email address here. He usually responds within a few hours.
Last but not least-- GOOD LUCK with everything you have going on right now! Have a wonderful break!
-Lori
