    Dec 12, 2012 - He shares his insights. After Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New York and New Jersey, significant flooding of low-lying areas resulted in a surprising degree of damage.  Three large commercial properties in Brooklyn—ranging from in size from 7,000 to 20,000 square feet—were offered as donations to the recovery effort with the intent of creating a safe temporary space to repair damaged art under As team leader for AIC-CERT, I worked with art conservators from New York, California, Florida, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, responding to requests from artists and institutions for support and advice.

    Oct 23, 2012 - It is heartening to see that with such a minor modification to museum programming—finding a way to describe these museum objects effectively—a whole new group of individuals from the community can enjoy what the Museum of Fine You don’t have to be able to see a painting in order to learn why it is important.

This weekend, the museum presents a revival of three French movie classics from the 1970s and 1980s. It retains its transgressive quality, just as Belle de jour still shocks.

Emilia Duno, a senior in the IB Film Program at Lamar High School, asked Mark Hall, director of Sushi: The Global Catch, a few questions about his film and what inspired the Austin-based filmmaker to address the issue of overfishing

  9. Med School Checklist: MFAH Edition

    Sep 26, 2012 - Now imagine that you are a doctor trying to diagnose a sick patient, using only words. Could you describe what a spiral does without using anything but words? No cheating!

    Sep 7, 2012 - Art for the Mind and Spirit brings the museum—at least a small piece of it—into the community, providing comfort to the patients, their families, and caregivers. 4 Things to Know about Art for the Mind and Spirit 1) It Engaging with art allows children to be creative and gives them a little control over a part of their day. “What I take away with me from every visit is the awareness of just how much the artistic process can affect a child’s mood in a positive way.
