In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Kelsey Museum will be open Monday, January 16, 9 am-4 pm, despite its usual Monday closing.
As you attend the University’s MLK Day events, be sure to stop by our special exhibition, "Dominated and Demeaned: Representations of the Other from New Kingdom Egypt and Jim Crow America." This installation places a display of 20th-century household artifacts depicting African Americans (but marketed to white Americans) in dialogue with images of the enemy Other in New Kingdom Egypt. The display was conceived and created as a class project in History of Art 286 (Art and Empire in Antiquity—Fall 2011). It will be held over by popular request through Sunday, January 29, 2012.
