SOLD OUT – Martin Luther Art and the Reformation

How have the greatest treasures of the Reformation come from Germany to Mia—and only Mia? What are the highlights and the back stories? Where do these cultural monuments normally stand? Why are they so significant? Tom Rassieur will take you behind the scenes to introduce the themes that tie together this incredible array of paintings, textiles, sculpture, prints, goldsmithery, furniture, archaeological finds, illustrated books, and documents. Luther provoked radical changes in religion, society, politics, and art. This talk will help you appreciate the challenges faced by those who lived at the time and how Mia’s exhibition reveals their struggles.

Tom Rassieur, John E. Andrus III Curator of Prints and Drawings, is Mia’s collaborating curator for “Martin Luther: Art and the Reformation.”
