Just before Thanksgiving, our Intro to Museum Studies students organized their own pop-up exhibition focusing on portraits from our collection.

This week we lost avantgarde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, whose flickering experiments with film and light reinforced the lesson of variable media preservation: we keep things alive by keeping them moving.
