Museum in a Minute: exhibition inspires 3 new videos
July 2, 2015
Three works of art in our current exhibition, Passions of the Eye (highlighting exceptional works from Hamilton private collections), provide the jumping off point for three new videos in McMaster Museum of Art’s Museum in a Minute Series.
Teresa Gregorio, who leads many of the Museum’s school tours, looks to E.

Check them out (and explore the rest of the series on our Youtube channel) and be sure to see the exhibition Passions of the Eye which continues until August 1, 2015.
