About The Event

Come to the CMA for a quick bite of art history. Every first Tuesday of each month, join curators, conservators, scholars, and other museum staff for 30-minute talks on objects currently on display in the museum galleries.

The monumental 1,500-year-old Cambodian sculpture Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan, one of the CMA’s most celebrated masterworks, is back in the galleries. Join Sonya Rhie Mace, George P. Bickford Curator of Indian and Southeast Asian Art, and Beth Edelstein, head of objects conservation, for an introduction to the sculpture and its recent reconstruction. Director of Collections Management Alyssa Morasco discusses how the reconstruction of Krishna led to the establishment of a training program at the CMA for staff of the National Museum of Cambodia.
