About this event

  • 1 hour

Join curator Robyn Asleson on a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900–1939. Hear the backstories of how the artwork came to be – and then how it came to be at the Portrait Gallery – and join a museum educator to dig deeper into stories the works tell.

If you join us late, please meet us in the exhibtion space on the 2nd floor of the museum.
