Dana Cowen, Ph.D., the associate curator of European art at the Joslyn Art Museum, will provide an illustrated overview of the exhibition “Bijoux Parisien” at noon today in Williams Science Hall, Room 1038.
“Bijoux Parisien” explores the intersection of French fashion, art, and history through nearly 70 works of jewelry and more 100 original design paintings, fashion prints, and photographs. Elegant brooches, necklaces and bracelets forged from precious materials reflect the same aesthetic, social and political concerns that drove major artists from the 17th to the mid-20th century.
This exhibit will be on view at the Joslyn until Sept. 10.
This event is offered through the Passport Partners Program, which provides free museum admission for UNMC employees, students and their immediate families, with valid identification. The partnership also offers lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.
