Project Redefine
"In fall 2010 the Spencer Museum of Art (SMA) will begin Project Redefine, a bold experiment that endeavors to expand understanding and appreciation of the museum’s diverse permanent collection through new, broadly conceived thematic installations. Our present galleries, formulated in 1978, focus primarily on Euro-American painting and sculpture and are divided according to a progression of time periods: Antiquity, Medieval, Renaissance, and 17th through 19th centuries, with a separate gallery devoted to Asian Art. Project Redefine aims to change the frameworks through which our permanent collection is viewed by creating new thematic installations."
