Gallery Conversation: Art and Law

A gallery conversation that turns the museum into a classroom for legal thinking, led by Jen Thum of the Harvard Art Museums and Sam Ramos of the Art Institute of Chicago. Using the same object-based activities educators typically run with judges and law students, the session invites anyone curious about how art raises questions of justice, power, and ethics—no legal background needed. The program meets Friday, November 20, from 2:00 to 3:30 PM by the stairs in Griffin Court, accessible from the Modern Wing entrance on Monroe Street, then moves through several galleries with stools and elevators available. Free with museum admission, no registration required; ASL interpretation and assisted listening devices are available with two weeks’ notice.
