ISAC Special Exhibition Lecture
Revisiting Roman Sculpture at the OI: Ptolemais and Beyond

Kiersten Neumann, Interim Chief Curator, ISAC Museum; and Roko Rumora, PhD candidate, Department of Art History, University of Chicago, join us for a lecture that explores the newest ISAC Museum special exhibition, "Making Sense of Marbles: Roman Sculpture at the OI." On view as a group for the first time, the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures’s collection of Roman sculpture illustrates how we can makes sense of marbles with divergent histories and the fundamental importance of archaeological context in telling an object’s story.

The special exhibition, co-curated by Kiersten and Roko, will be on view from September 15, 2022 to March 12, 2023.
