Art History Zoom Series
ZOOM
This is a continuing monthly series on Zoom. Those new to the series
must register. There is no charge as all involved are
volunteering. In June, we began a monthly chronological survey of
(mostly) Western art history with detours along the way for
specific topics or artists. Works in nearby museums will be
privileged to encourage you to see the art in person. Those
registered will be sent an email with a handout and Zoom link.
Tuesdays 10:00 am-noon
May 21 Talk 12: Rome
(part 2 – Engineering an Empire) June 4
Talk 13: Glass Making from Mesopotamia to Modern If

Toledo Museum of Art
The Toledo Museum is an easy drive from Detroit.
It was founded in 1901 by Edward Drummond Libbey, owner of the
Libbey Glass Company. He funded the construction of the original
building and left the museum his glass collection, his collection
of Dutch and English art, and a large endowment. The museum now
has a collection of over 30,000 objects, including one of the
world's most comprehensive glass collections in a pavilion opened
in 2006 especially for glass. We'll look at a range of art but
spend a lot of time exploring the glass and its history.
