Join curator Jen Thum for an exploration of works in the exhibition Seeing in Art and Medicine, on view from September 2 to December 30, 2023. Thum will share insights about the museums’ medical humanities program for radiologists—on which the exhibition is based—and what can be gleaned through close looking.
Seeing in Art and Medicine invites visitors to consider the medical program’s themes of narrative, objectivity, embodiment, empathy, power, ambiguity, and care through works from across the collections. Explore big human questions and try your hand at close-looking activities in an interactive setting.
Led by:
Jen Thum, Associate Director of Academic Engagement and Campus Partnerships and Research Curator
