Research Out Loud: Met Fellows Present
Get an inside look at the cutting-edge research conducted by Met fellows in Research Out Loud: Met Fellows Present. Join this year's cohort for the latest in art history, preservation, interpretation, and visual culture, and discover interdisciplinary, creative approaches that bridge the visual arts and other areas of the humanities, sciences, and performing arts. Learn how to build a wooden sarcophagus, write like an ancient Greek, design a mosaic, and more. Whether you are an arts and culture professional, a scholar, or art-curious, this series of presentations and gallery programs offers a deep dive into research projects across The Met collection.
All in-person presentations in Bonnie J. Sacerdote Lecture Hall, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education, are free, though advance registration is required to attend on Zoom. Talks, tours, and hands-on activities are on-site only. Those in the Uris Center for Education are free; those in the galleries are free with Museum admission.
