As an Art History student at SMU was an amazing experience and I treasure all of the wonderful classes held at the Meadows Museum. It has come a long way since I graduated in 1998! What was once displayed in a carved out space inside the Arts Building is now at home in an impressive and grand building of it's own. It is certainly worth the visit and I believe that it is truly one of Dallas' hidden gems. Well, if you missed the Diego Rivera viewing party on Friday the 19th of June, don't fret. You can still see all of the amazing Cubist Portraits and hear a special lecture.
July 16th or 23rd at 6pm you could catch the Thursday evening Lecture Series titled Diego Rivera and the Mexican Revolution by Dr. Luis Martin, Professor Emeritus of History, SMU
On August 20th at 6pm you can catch Dr. Mark Roglan, Director of the Meadows Museum, and his lecture, Diego Rivera and Spain (1907-1922).
On September 17th at 6pm you can hear Paloma Alarco, the Curator of Modern Paintings at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid teach about The Portrait Gone to Pieces: The Cubist Era in Paris.
In the meantime, you should join the Museum! For more information you can contact the Membership office at 214-768-2765.
