Also on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, Page Knox leads two tours of different exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the morning, she guides students in person through Walking Tour: Beyond the Light at the Met (Course 11648). Featuring approximately 100 works by nineteenth century Danish artists, the exhibit displays the drawings, oil sketches, and paintings created during this period that explore notions of place, identity, and belonging. In the evening, Knox returns online to revisit Cubism and the Trompe l'Oeil Tradition at the Met (Course 11851).
