Dutch Silver: Sacred and Secular
6:00 pm–8:00 pm
The extraordinary cultural flourishing of the Netherlands during the “long 17th century” produced many designers and silversmiths whose work is receiving new attention today, including at the MFA. Explore a range of precious works in silver, from Jewish ritual objects to medals, with Simona Di Nepi, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Curator of Judaica; and Courtney Harris, assistant curator of European Decorative Arts and Sculpture. This evening offers the opportunity to examine treasures from storage.
This program is scheduled to be an in-person event, however details may be subject to change.
Exclusively for members of Curators Circles: Swan Society
