1h 8m
Dr. Rocky’s hopes for in-person guided tours of the “The Medici: Portraits and Politics, 1512-1570” exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, 5th Avenue in New York City are dashed since lecturing and guided tours are still not permitted at the museum. But that is not stopping him from sharing the extraordinary collection of Medici portrait paintings, medals, and busts with you virtually! Join Dr. Rocky for this pop-up webinar to prepare for or reminisce about your visit to this sumptuous exhibition of Renaissance beauty and power! Exhibition ended on October 11, 2021.
